hey thats nice info. sounds like its not only a beast of an engine but the roadholding would be much improved as well!!
do you know if there were any changes to the front suspension system?

The car is now in a museum in Sunne owned by Walfridsson family. We borrowed it to showoff on VROM 21 may and Vallåkra in aug.
Its 300 series 30 birthyear this year.
showing off won't be a problem at all I guess

Much fun!!

Very nice pics, hmm, so need to start making that rear arb right?
Looks like similar to front arb, but is it same or some different?
Alfa 75 has similar transmission mounting as 300-serie, but I'm not sure about years now, I think there was no 75 around that time, so maybe Alfetta?, but I don't know if it had box in rear, I know some of older Alfas had it placed same way as in 300, but can't recall models and I'm too lazy to search

how fast is it? Did you have the chance to pout your foot down, or did you have to drive it gently?

That is pretty frustrating! (Notice the way I state this politaly correct, it's not frustrating, it's f#*ked up big time...)
