[alfa] V6 Engine Swaps - Another Idea...

Yikes..  that brings back memories..  I had an itch to build a kit car,  
while watching the VW modification scene in So Cal,  back in the late 
70's..  Got into Alfas,  never did build a car..

I did have a  "concept" worked out,  that very same Aztech 7,  which I 
thought looked better than most out there, as well as having the Alfa 
design connection.  I was picturing a Karman Ghia front end ( front 
disks rather than Bug drums) and using a 914 transaxle for mid engine as 
well as 5spd and disk rears..   Used to be a place called Kennedy 
Engineering (?) out in LA,  that would make engine adapters for ANYTHING 
to a VW transaxle (they even had one for a 427!!!) and would make others 
to others.

Figured a light weight,  hot 2L Alfa motor would be great in a 1800lb 
car like that..

Ah well,  sounded good on paper!
