I used to have half of this motor

Check out this pretty rare Alfa Romeo. I had a 72 Alfa with the 2 Liter all aluminum motor and it was sweet. Those motors sound and run very nicely when tuned properly. They had hemispherical chambers, sodium filled valves, dual overhead cams and crossflow heads waaaaay back into the 50's!

 

This one was unvieled at the worlds fair in NYC in the early 70's. I have seen a few of these up close. Alfa engineers took their 2.0 Engine and basically turned it into a V8 for this car. They had two distributors and two fuel injection systems; one for each bank. The injection was belt driven mechanical...I have dissected the Alfa Spica Injection system and it was very advanced for it's time.

 

This is not my car, I just though some of you Hybridz would be interested.

A guy I have done a few side jobs for has a white one that is immaculate. Awsome looking car and sounds pretty cool with a Monza exaust. I had to do some work in his garage with the Alfa and a (one of 2 ever made) Maserati. Man was I sweating bullets every time I had to walk by those cars making sure I didn't touch them.

 

One day I was looking at the tail lights and thought about how they would look an a S30... anybody for a photoshop?
