I was trolling though ebay and found this in ebay Italy, ALFA 159 Q4 - 3.2 V6 - ENGINE ECC.- MOTORE\CAMBIO , ECC .

Item number:   300351025680

Thought it was cheap for what it was, just need to find a use for it.

Hi Greg,
Looks like AWD alright but doesn't look like V6,looks like a 4 cylinder I reckon.

thats what i thought, but i wasn't aware they put a 4 cylinder in the awd.

Nah that is the V6.

Although they also do a 2.4 JTD Q4 in Europe too.

It's logistically a difficult task to imoport a used engine from Europe. For a start, it's very expensive privately unless you've contacts in the shipping industry. Looked at importing an engine from Greece and the red tape is rather discouraging

You can tell it's the V6 by the example of what will never make the 'top 1,000 milestones in Italian design' – the engine cover.
Do you think their usual designer was off work the day they sat down to sketch that one up?  We cant even say its GM's fault.
I cringe every time I open the bonnet.  Thankfully that's not very often.
Cheers,
Marco.

Actually, it is not that hard to bring in stuff from Europe. A few years back i brought in a 3l v6 engine and 2 transaxles from UK. there is a crowd in PT Melbourne called "Roberts Shipping". They handled it for me. The charge then was $420 Gatwick to Pt Melbourne for < than cubic metre & < than a Tonne.
Worked out $1200 for the items inc all shipping, taxes and charges Pick up at Pt Melb. Pay that for 1 transaxle here.
