:09 to :015 SWEET JESUS!!!

I was 18 when I moved to Phoenix in 1980. I worked with a local guy whose brother owned a TR6. He worked at a place that was towing,scrapping, salvage and used parts. The TR had an engine fire and was abandoned on the side of the highway. Charlie's brother restored the car. The new engine?. A Buick 215 V8 with a 5 speed. What was impressive was the two small 4 bbl aluminum intake manifold.. It was a Mickey Thompson speed part. That car was reai desert runner.

Nothing like the torque and song of a V8! As a young man I had a 327 Corvette engine in my Austin Healey 100, then a 350 Chevy in my ‘82 GMC S15 (total giggle :) and now a Ford 289 in my ‘67 Sunbeam Tiger…the growl and the Big push in the back is so much fun!

Sound da erezione!!! Che cazzuto questo Buick V8!!!

I put a sbc 383ci into my bugeye Box frame all the front suspension is redone with Frontline Mgb calipers and spitfire rotors Ford 8.8 rear Th350 trans Looks stock except for the 10 inch cragars and the fiberglass reversed hood scoop

I always take my hands off the wheel when I brake, as well. I mean, it's in God's hands anyway, better to show your faith.

Damn it, we support the criminal in Moscow. Putin can only be defeated if we implement an immediate energy-saving lockdown. No more private trips. Heating only at night and only one room with light and electricity, you can simply set that at the fuse box....Cities could, for example, switch off every second street light and companies could switch off their neon signs. We can initially limit driving to pure business trips and hospital trips, etc...!!!!!!!!!!!

Sounds lovely but that engine must equal about a third of the total mass so I hope you've found a way to slow it down.

3rd gear tire squeal @ 0:10

Beautiful car. I always wanted an Alpine myself but I appreciate the bugeyes too.

Glorious sounds from 215 cubes!

ZERO COMMENTS!!???!?!?!! Oh my gaahhd!! that looks so much fun!!

Sounds sweet as well.

The speed limit sign was a blur, lol. Nice ride, sounds amazing, interior looks good. Like the finish on the windscreen too, that top polished edge is slick.

More info!

You don't just drop in much more powerful engines into a Sprite/Midget. It takes front frame strengthening, a stronger real axle, and often footwell modifications. I had one with a modified Volvo B-18 engine and Chevy II rear. 140 MPH capable, but scary over 90 MPH on some roads.

Is that one of the early Buick/Oldsmobile engines that Land Rover(?) bought the rights from GM? It was a great engine, design and size( perfect fit for a Vega).

Please more informations and a video about building the frog….

That will be a lot of fun, I hope the throttle pedal has a long travel!! A pal has a Frog Eye with an old 6 cyl Jeep engine. 2.5 lite I believe. It fits like a glove.

Please Please PLEASE more videos
