Title: Series 105 1973 GT junior a real beast of a vehicle on the street.

Hi fellow Alfisti
This thread located on the ABB forum based in the USA, details the complete build on an engine and drivetrain transplant on the subject vehicle. The owner decides to modify the vehicle with the intention to achieve staggering performance figures in excess of 500 HP and ET of 10 second ¼ mile pass. The build covers currently 11 pages, with pictures of the progress incorporated on this thread. Alfa purists may not necessarily agree with the modifications but for the rev heads or individuals might find this an interesting post.

Yes, an interesting read at times.

Definitely not my cuppa, metaphorically it seemed like they took a ballet dancer and tried to make them into a cage fighter.
