couldnt you just swap the crank sensor with the one from a gtt??

the clutch shoulnt be a problem.. the prop might well be - a bit notorious for failures. the gearbox (5speed) should be fine to the north side of 250bhp, but the prop sometimes dies on stock power :|

the simplist\cheapest way for more power on any of the cars is an engine swap - the 340 is preffered by drifters as it's weight is more balanced, but there's not much to it.. if you're not going to be doing anything for a while, get a 360 glt..

i don't think so. the origonal alpine engine has gone in, but as the latter 1.7 turbo or 1.8 16v engines drop straight in (and have more power), they are a preferred option
