A few Lister Bell questions for a member in the U.S.

I can't think of any Toyota engined Stratos replicas?

The Busso Alfa V6 is the engine of choice for a Stratos replica. If you choose anything else, you'll be ploughing your own furrow.

Hi Chris,

There are two replicas in Australia that have the Toyota 3.5 V6 fitted, there's an LB in Canberra & a Corse in Perth. No connection between either of them.
The general reasoning is that the Alfa is simply not readily available there (& if they are prices are high) so they chose a good strong V6 engine that was available.
The US is slightly different as there were Alfa's present up until 1996 in the form of the 164 but nothing after that.
I understand that in the UK the Alfa is the engine of choice given its Italian origins, appearance & sound. With the exception of the 164 24v the service parts are still available too so it makes perfect sense.
People on other continents generally appear to be more receptive to other power plants for various reasons, whether it be availability, power requirements, service parts availability etc
