ouch!!!!!!!!!

[So Cal Mark]

Eladio and I picked up a 70 Spider a few weeks ago. We knew it had a broken starter, and a recently installed cylinder head. We finally got around to lifting it up today, and this is what we found;

#4 rod sticking through the pan and the left side of the block. The impact of the rod is what broke the starter.

ouch is right.

Need some help finding a good mechanic?

[So Cal Mark]

nope, just need to piece together a motor now

[greggl]

Note to Self: Drive *in front* of Eladio when that one is out for a run

Yep, that'll knock a starter on it's butt. Good gracious! You don't see this too often on a Fiat motor.

Haha, Mark doesn't need a good mechanic, the crappy one he has can do this just fine

Mark. Mike Mudge has a car that he is debating parting out. I'm not sure he wants to sell the engine off, but he seems to be at the edge of the cliff, and if you give him the right shove he might. I think his is an 1800 from a 1975. I'd think that would make a pretty good donor for this car your working on.

thanks, but I've got lots of parts including several blocks
