After 12+ years of searching for the 56 Alfa and or the Hilborn injected slant that was in it I FOUND IT AND MADE THE DEAL!!!!!
Turns out it has been sitting in a garage about 15 miles from my house since the early 70's. The car is long gone but the engine is complete with the Joe Hunt magneto, comes with another race built slant with 3 Weber 45 side draft carbs, pistons, cams, 2 fully race ported heads, custom built headers, 2 offy valvecovers, boxes of extra parts and 2 transmissions (can't remember what they were but there is an adapter plate too).
The injected engine is still the same metallic blue color that they painted the 56 Alfa back in the 60's. My dad even recognized the notch that he ground out of the fins on one of the valvecovers to clear something over 30 years ago.
Both engines are rusty but in very rebuildable condition with no ridges or damage to the cylinders and both heads have been ported and have big valves installed.
Best of all there are no numbers stamped anywhere on the injection unit and after talking to Hilborn it is very possible that this was #1, the "loaner" unit that went out to sponsored teams for test and tune.
I am still shaking and didn't sleep at all lastnite!
