did it break the block? Are you just looking for a block to assemble or a running engine?

Any skilled mechanic who doesn't mind working on a fiat could retime the aux shaft and see if the engine is okay. Story is kind of fishy though, the crank could just barely touch the aux shaft if the belt jumped some, but the odds of it not getting really ugly quick are not good. Got to be someone around where you are with experience on these cars. Maybe it's okay, and a new belt and oil change will do, if so go to church or buy lotto tickets!

If you can trailer or tow the car to me I'd be happy to look at it. I'm about 45mins north of you
