Sounds like good sound thinking. Smallest car with a gigando elephant motor powering it.
Crazy smart maybe

So, did you contact Jalopnik? They obviously want to know more...

392 and then they put a 671 blower on it (not shown in the pictures). They were the first in Western Canada to run a supercharger. They ran A/Altered.

392s run really good with positive intake manifold pressure.
That's what I started out with before it evolved into a 417 Donovan

Does the car still exist? Love to see it on a Drag Strip.
Hemi's Rule, drive one everyday. Here's a HEMI for you. Look it leaks oil like all ALFAs do. https://www.google.com/search?q=Motorcycle+with+ALFA+V6&tbm=isch&imgil=SJy0kehw8L7lwM%253A%253BnPDTjJaMFq_OXM%253Bh ttp%25253A%25252F%25252Fthekneeslider.com%25252Fal fabeast-alfa-romeo-powered-custom-for-sale%25252F&source=iu&pf=m&fir=SJy0kehw8L7lwM%253A%252CnPDTjJaMFq_OXM%252C_&usg=__EVCW14cwWOgstq_tnN8oE6RtqxQ%3D&biw=1680&bih=984&ved=0ahUKEwjO-q7gvLHTAhUHw2MKHaOgDOAQyjcINQ&ei=Btj3WM7fKIeGjwOjwbKADg#imgrc=SJy0kehw8L7lwM:

The car still exists though I have never seen it (this was before my time). I happened to have coffee about 10 years ago with the guy who owns it now - it was a small world coincidence sort of thing. Maybe this summer, I will take my son to go see the old dragster...

I found another a picture of the car on the interwebs... this one shows it with the blower... It's pretty cool becasue it shows my dad (in the white coveralls) and my grandmother on the right side of the photo.

I like how grandma has her head cocked to the side, "That does not look safe."

Cool as all heck, but a rear/mid-engined version would have also rocked.
