Re: Difference between Orion and Alpha engine ?
Okay I know a little. The orion was the first series of engines in scoupes and possibly x2s as well(not sure). Pretty sure it was a mitsu engine and the gearbox is on the opposite side to the alpha engine. Alpha engine is what follows onto x3s in a slightly different version. So it goes orion, alpha, alphaII... The turbo scoupe used an alpha engine. Thats why X3s which are sohc can use scoupe tubo exhaust manifold etc. As it sounds like you have the orion engine you can transplant a number of turbo charged mitsu engines as the gearbox is on the same side. Been done a number of times.
