The Alpha one motor is fine, just change the inlet manifold. Easier to find..

thats what ive got in my 79  frankfurter  ,even if you remove the angleld inlet of a 82 barrell its still to long to fit carb rubber boot to air box so you have to machine the inlet back and down in size so the carb go straight on and it fits  in easy

That explains why i had to get another manifold made for my 490, i thought they had sent me the wrong one. Had nothing to compare it to and didn't realise '82 cylinder inlet was different.
