My uncle has had a Green 1975 Alfa Romeo Montreal for years now. Pretty cool car, considering it was a V8 import, but it never quite ran right. So yesterday at the shop I spotted a Red one there too.

This is the site of the usual eary Fuel injected V8 mess under the green car’s hood.

So Jeller and I poped the hood on the Red one to compare…

OMG Webber Carbs all the way around!!! A much better way to do this!!! The car is a lot cleaner than the other one too, original paint, and everything was really clean.

Thats awsome, much cleaner then the Green one altho, there somthing to be siad about keeping it alll original.

Side not all those REALLLY old cars there and its the new Evo on the lift.

Bah work sucks cant see any pics

Most of the cars are RWD DOHC 4 Cyl. It would be an easy swap, but I’m not a big fan of swapping engines from on make to another, Except for the R5 Turbo 2 maybe.
