Check here for ideas.

Interesting! I've always been thinking of doing a bit-serial ALU, just to keep
parts down a little (speed isn't exactly an issue anyway! :-)
I actually got as far as cooking up a suitable design, but that's sadly in a
notebook that's in storage right now (although I think I can remember enough
to reproduce it). I've got no TTL handy here though right now (that's in
storage too), but was screwing around with writing a logic simulator the other
day, which will at least allow me to prototype some stuff.
cheers
