Hey Guys/Girls, Im a newbee to the forum and the world of alfas, I mostly work on watercooled Porsches and toyotas. A friend of mine has asked if I can rebuild his alfa and I have takin on the challange. Its a 1988 afla spider with a manual tranny and I believe a 4cyl 2.0L engine. The bad news is the engine is Blown, My friend ran it out of oil (oil light was covered with a picture) and now it sounds like a broken rod or spun bearing and doesnt run. He has let it sit for 7 years in a garage. Its not in really bad shape, A little rust on the front fenders and the rockers are almost rusted away on the outside. The drivers seat needs to be replaced, But just about everything else looks good. I told him I would rather not rebuild a blown motor because It would be a waste of time to take it apart cus its more likely unusable. I havent had alot of luck finding a good used engine. Anyone have any tips or places to look for a good used engine?? My friend would like to keep the rebuild under $5,000 which I think is very possable givin that I will be doing most of the work myself. Anyway Thanx for any info, cant wait to start my adventure ;-)
