Gary,
I recall it was a Ford 260, also. Added lots of weight compared to the
4 in the
Alpine. Ran great in a straight line, but, as I recall, had
problems changing
direction.

Re: [Roadsters] Is it a Tiger?
I've also heard that there was a standard
500-mile maintenance for Tigers:
Re-tighten every bolt in the car... ;^)
They
had what, the Ford 260 V-8 was it?

Be
careful the Tiger owners would be dismayed to be compared to an alpine.
Tigers
had a V8 (in an alpine body) and were quite speedy. My 2000 was not
a match
ofi them on a straight line when it was new.
