Thanks for the photos Dave (Drsquashdavid), very useful.
I don't want to alter my engine cover, and would like to retain parallel driveshafts at ride height to avoid problems. Your LH drive shaft looks straight on full droop, I guess the angle would be significant at ride height if you needed to drop it enough to retain a standard engine cover ?
Massa, I'll PM you for some pics, otherAlfa installations I have seen so far has the driveshaft angle and/or cover clearance issues, so would be interested in seeing your installation
My car being a Dehavilland has the MG engine and subframe. I'm considering using the KV6 engine which uses the exact same gearbox that is in my car. Would just need to modify the subframe to take the KV6 engine mounts. Using this would ensure perfect driveshaft angles, and the KV6 is a wide V, so there should be plenty of height clearance.
Ideally I'd like to fit 3 down draft throttle bodies instead of a plenum
