You could buy an Allard with a Lincoln, Olds, Hemi, or Buick V8. The factory would weld up the mounts and the US dealer would put the engine in the car. My engine puts out about 240 hp, and has tons of torque.Dick > Some of my car buddies are wondering what is powering the Allard. > They loved it in the pictures. Is it a flat head?
