    The stock fuel rail reversed will fit too - that puts the feed and return at the front of course, although the lines can fit under the manifold in the V easily enough. Appeals a little because of the pig-dog awful access to anything at the rear of these engines! Seems a little 'inelegant' though, some nice alloy rail extrusions look better
    The answer is more power! What was the question?

    Its all on its way!

    Placed the request for pickup from South Africa today Will have ALL the parts in my sweaty hands soon!

    Please disregard any pricing discussions - Our final cost price was impossible for me to calculate as Alpine were vague and shipping was incomplete! Once this shipment lands all our out-of-pockets are over (and there has been quite a lot believe me!) and I can do more than just guess what a kit might cost.

    Thought it would take 12 months - I waz wrong!

    FYI - a crew of Russian VXers are on a project of integrating a ROTREX C30-94 S/C into their VXers... I wonder which project comes to life first?

    Looks like they changed the drive design (went from cast to billet back to a new casting). Can you take some measurements of the drive (nose)? Also, is the unit still an MP62 or is it another model? I'd like to get mine put back on and I'm trying to decide if I want to replace the drive or have it rebuilt (not sure if the cast nose is worth rebuilding).

    It is an MP90. This snout is cast. We've done some machining on this particular one.

    John I will have snout/pulley offset dims soon but this snout has been machined down and we have moved the SC position on the manifold so our measurements won't help you.
