I have built several of the 2.8 V6's that I installed in my Sunbeam Alpines and now am starting on a 4.0 V6 OHV. Should be a real power house:)

I developed a PDF for the Documentation of How To Convert an Alpine..... Here is a link: https://docs.google.com/document/d/13vKZ9JhB0vO8p2PrMl1x1qfCxh17xJIg_KCIo7HeFok/edit?ts=5d6c7ded

I designed an built all of the individual components for the conversion, especially proud of

That looks like a fun little car! :D(y)
 
I did one of those a few years ago for a friend. 78 Mustang 2.8 with heads planed .030", Comp cam, Offenhauser Dual Port with a 390 Holley, Duraspark ignition, T5 out of my daughters wrecked 89 Mustang, 3.00 geared 8" in a Currie custom housing. Got the headers and some brackets from Joe Rodriguez(I think) in Washington or Oregon. Same color as yours but not as nice paint.

This is a fairly old thread, sorry for bringing it back.
I guess I need to contact the OP to find out if he can reproduce the headers. I have an '85 TVR with a 2.8 in it and am looking for headers. These look like a good fit since the TVR and Alpine have similar chassis clearance behind the X member.
Thanks for any help.
