Need Bosch Spider engine in NC! Anyone?



Bought a cheap '85 Graduate in great condition except 
for a badly overheated and damaged engine.

Removed and replaced head and gasket after resurfacing 
but still have low dry compression around 
25psi/cylinder.  Wet compression will jump to 125 psi on 
#1 and 135psi on #4.  #1 and #2 stay around 25psi.  
Valves are within limits, cam timing correct.  Suspect 
damaged compression rings and blowby as a result of 
overheating.  Around 110K miles on original engine.

Ready to have the head redone by Sperry and possibly 
install pistons and liners.  Maybe it's more cost 
effective to just swap the whole engine.

Anyone have a lead on a good used motor in the area?

Someone in Atlanta had one.  Eric Hambleton(sp.?)?

Thanks!

Jeff
