Wow, what an amazing conversion. Those Alfa V6's have the most beautiful exhaust note. I wonder what transmission was used, as the cars those V6s came in had a rear mounted transaxle.
Likely it's the 2.5 liter version, the injected version had 154 hp, this could be a little more if it's well tuned.
Are those Solex carbs? They look similar to the Weber DCOE. There is a ton of info on the web on tuning Webers, if these are worn out then you might consider switching.

Vandor they are Solex carbs. I was told the the motor was fuel injected at one time.
I know very little overall about the car since I only drove it home last Wednesday from
CT. Weather has been cold enough to prevent to much poking around. But I know that
I will need a lot of help and direction.

That's a conversion I could get excited about!

that said I know a Volvo mechanic who's building his own turbo units and is ridiculously knowledgable about tuneable FI systems, turbos etc. He built hid own unit and has a ton of monitoring equipment installed including o2 sensors and such poking out of the downpipe of the exhaust. He says you have to carefully monitor the mixture at least until you have the unit perfected...

interesting sounds his volvo is making now! Id love to hear the sounds this beautiful yellow spider makes! Please make a video for us when you can.
