Found this nifty description of the restoration of an Alfa engine. Daddy want!

Oh, and a question to the "goddammit... get a V-8 and shut the f- up" crowd... can you think of a car, any car, that comes with a high powered V-8 that goes for less than, say, $20,000? How about $25,000?

I'm beginning to believe the reason the hotrod crowd moved away from 'murrican muscle is at least as much about price as preference. Remember, a new Honda or Toyota can be had for, what, $12,000? Sure, after it's rodded up it might be close to what a new V-8 cost. But they'll get to drive it the whole time.

Yeah, I know, probably too much "I'd rather push an ['murrican car of choice] than drive a Honda" out there for an honest answer. I'm just sayin...
