Alfa Romeo 164 Register.com

Just bought my fourth 164 cloverleaf and my second 12v. Can't seem to be without one.
This is a project car and needed saving and I couldn't resist. It has a blown engine so if anyone can steer me in the direction of a 12v cloverleaf engine I'd be very grateful.
I fell in love with these cars when I borrowed my brothers and was blown away with the engaging way it drove, that magnificent engine and sheer Alfaness of it all.
I look forward to getting her back up and running and listening to a 12v busso at full song.

Welcome to the site and congratulations on yet another 164

We always like to see photos of the cars, also updates on the progress of the projects

Engine and box being removed

Looks good, from a distance at least. And yes, you get addicted when you have enjoyed how good they really drive

Hello and welcome
yes the Busso 3.0L V6 is a marvel mine is a 1988 only 190 CV but there is really nothing that can give you such a smile when driving.

Do you still own the four ?

Hi
Engine stripped and found 2 big ends gone so in for a regrind in the new year. The bores appear remarkably good but not sure whether to rering the pistons or not. I shall rebuild the cylinder heads anyway and if I can get a set of cams but funds may not allow.
I only have one 164. The first one I had H465JLA went to a specialist breakers due to rust 20 odd years ago when they were worthless 2nd and 3rd both 24v sold on, the second back to it's previous owner!
I'm looking for a bonnet by the way if anyone knows of a sound one?
Many thanks and merry Christmas

Maybe a gift coming Best mishes

Quick update.
Engine rebuilt and original gearbox rebuilt as well. Subframe out and painted. Now to put it back together.

Great to see good progress

Did you find more things to fix, while you were at it? And if you have photos of the rebuild, please share

Hi
By way of an update. I've rebuilt the engine had the original 12v gearbox rebuilt and refitted. Quickly sprayed her with new wing and bonnet.
Now the hard part. The multitude of electrical gremlins. Most I have fixed but I cannot get the hazards to work. Interior lights don't work, heater fan doesn't work. Rear demister permanently on and so on.
Anyway getting there.

It is definitely looking good

I hope that the electrical gremlins are easily fixed!
