The alpine exhaust and inlet manifolds aren't interchangeable without modification.. So i guess the manifolds on the engine in your should be of a fastback...
The carbs tilt towards the engine and the dipstick enters the block without a tube. The twin exhaust headers from the exhaust manifold have some painted writting "fast" that someone has put on, so they are fastback pipes presumably.?
Hi Mike, It isn't a Rapier one unless it is 305nnnn not 395nnnn then it would be a 1592cc IIIA engine. So, I think Fastback Thos. is right with a 1725 Alpine engine...unless someone knows different . G
If I'm not mistaken this should be an alpine series 5 engine.. But with other carbs then as the alpine's are tilted upwards because the angle of the engine is different.. This should also have a different camshaft..
