Alfa Romeo 2600 Engine & Transmission
Presentation
This 2,584cc twin-cam inline-six and five-speed manual transmission were removed from a 1963 Alfa Romeo 2600 Sprint or Spider. The selling dealer has had the parts since 2006 and notes that they require a complete rebuild. They are now offered at no reserve in Trenton, Texas.
The Alfa Romeo 2600 used a 2,584cc inline-six and was the last Alfa Romeo fitted with an inline-six featuring twin overhead camshafts. The engine itself was the same across all model variants but was equipped with either two or three Solex carburetors. The Berlina came with the dual-carb setup; the Sprint, SZ, and Spider came with the triple-carb setup; and the Berlina De Luxe was available with either configuration.

Think there's an intake system w carbs on ebay rn. This would be more appropriate in my 59 T2000 spider than what I have planned, and would sound a whole lot better. Tempting. there's a 2600 thats been raced in New Zealand? thats on youtube which sounds amazing. not sure power output, but seems to scoot pretty well.

@doc18015 the motor turns over by hand thus, internals are not seized, but probable do need to rebuild the fuel delivery system ignition timing etc....

@Ragsteve sorry but I do not have any info on this motor but for what in the pics. It was taken out of a parting 2600 sprint by Robert at shadetree enginetric out in Nevada Texas. As for what is next to the pump it is a horn not sire if after market or original. Please see added pics

That's the stock pan. Sump sticks way back and oil pump hangs out in the breeze. In some ways more related to the 1900 and CI 2000 than to the Nord engines, other than in the head. Andrew

I have a 2600 exhaust manifold. The only 2600 parts I have.

@doc18015 there’s a guy 3D printing a modified intake manifold that has individual runners for Webers if you choose to go that direction. I have a complete stock Solex manifold including 3 carbs, insulators and linkages. If you win this auction, post your needs on AlfaBB and someone will respond I’m not sure about the exhaust manifolds but the motor looks pretty complete including the distributor, water pump and alternator.

@seller What can you tell us about the oiling system on this motor? Doesn’t look like a stock oil filter setup in picture 7. Is that a dry sump system of some sort? Looks like an external pump on the front of the engine in picture 9. What is the part right behind the pump in front of the motor mount in the same picture?

Would look really cool powering someone's fiberglass '32 Ford hot rod or T bucket!!

What else is needed to complete this as a running engine? The intake system is almost unobtanium; carbs likewise if staying with the Solex; Webers preferred but very $$$$$. Why do you believe that it requires a complete rebuild other than its age? Any transmission problems as stationary?

Hello everyone, I hope this engine finds a nice project. I never got to it myself so gooluck to the highest bidder. Just as an FYI I can strap it to a pallet (building a box for it my require some extra $$$ but just enough to cover the cost of it) and yes we have a forklift we can help with loading and yes it can be turned by hand. These are all questions we where aske twice already so I guess it is just proper I'll put it out there. Thanks

I have a ‘65 2600 and they are a very robust motor. Gran Touring cars. The real deal!
