I am about to take possession of a 1965 Series V Alpine; I would judge it to be in #4 condition. Needs interior and body work; some floor rust (not too much) and little evident rust around the rear wheel arches. It comes with a spare engine which I understand is in better shape than the engine now installed and I intend to swap engines soon. Is an Alpine engine swap a difficult chore? I would appreciate any responses and encouragement. This is my first Alpine although I owned a 1962 Humber Super Snipe in the late 60's while in college.

My new Alpine has an original hardtop and O/D as well and is in original condition with all parts.

Thank you in advance for any help.
