Alfa Romeo P2: Engine

A lovely kit of a lovely engine.The inlet side includes a pair of updraft, pressurised carburetors supplied by a pair of Roots blowers in a common housing at the front of the crankcase.

The finned manifold from the blower to the carb inlets is flat at the level of the oil pan.

Plenty of piping, some of it involving solder wire. The completed engine from the intake side.

This shot shows the blower housing with its two air filters mounted below the radiator.

Spark plugs and ignition by magneto is all very detailed. 



Not as much to see on the exhaust side at this point, except for the water pump and drive system. 

Finally the transmission includes a range of controls for brakes and gears. On to the chassis.

Stay tuned!
