"Alfa-to-Ferrari" Engine Conversion

I done something simuliar about eight years ago, just polished and had some stickers made up.

I'd like it better if it said Lancia instead.

Lancia 24v Plenum with twin butterfly throttle still available, if anyone is interested, whilst we are on the subject (sorry for the Hijack!)

I originally thought this thread was about replacing an Alfa engine with a Ferrari engine. My kit did just the opposite, the first time the chassis was built, it had a Ferrari engine, went it got sold to someone in the USA, they had it converted to take an Alfa 12V V6, I modified that further to accept an Alfa 24V V6. I'll have to see if I can create Lancia cam covers for my engine.

Sando will know for certain but I was of the impression that 24V Kappa front COP cover would do the job for you. Think that's what he has on his engine. Need to source them in mainland Europe I expect - won't be many at all in the UK and fewer in the USA.

Local fiat dealer near me had some of the badges off the top of a thema 8.32 for sale on ebay, the one that says Lancia by Ferrari. Bought one to sit on top of my itb airbox. May make a press tool for an indent for it to sit in seen as its around 5mm thick. Probably paint it black then sand the top of the lettering then clearcoat.
