I can also highly recommend Dean Russel (@ Trail Auto).  He's done great work
on both my 71 Spider, and Milano Verde.  Dean is almost always busy, and
prefers to schedule big jobs like engine rebuilds during winter months if
possible, but might have time for it.  Dean is also a great guy, and I always
enjoy talking to him whenever I bring in one of my cars.  I would go visit him
and tell him what you want to do.  There are other Alfa mechanics in the
state, but I can only recommend Dean.

Good luck!
