I was wondering why mine was so quiet ...

Here is mine. Socks n trumpets now removed and resorted back to original airbox but with mods - extra internal holes and connected to cold air intake. PACE headers, cams, carby extensions, larger venturis,2 1/2" exhaust - not quiet!

Hi Brad,
I will see if I can Find a picture of all the different setups I have tried so far.Here are some to start off with, after standard there came suck through SC without intercooling then with.
Next came blow through,then blow through with my own home made manifold,then N/A with my maniflod,N/a with Spica throttles and spider air box and airflow meter,then N/A with Spica Throttles and individual runners of different sorts-this stuff was all fuel injected.
Now I am running 45mm Webers and experimenting with runners.
Cheers
Andrew

I believe a chap in Toowoomba (Qld) had a rotary installed in an Alfetta sedan which I think he used in hill climbs very successfully. That's the thing about transaxles, you could use any power plant you want in the front as long as is fits. At one stage I was going to do a Toyota 4.0L small block NA V8 conversion but after stewing on it for a while, I decided against it as my car would be an orphan.

Ooops! I'll try attaching.

If you are not using the air conditioner mounting bolts, you could try sourcing the original head plugs or simply cut the bolts off and grind down the bases for a neat finish to the engine front-if aesthetics are an issue for you.
