If I remember right, there is/was a guy on here who built that engine but the car was stolen, then months later it turned up on trademe in a different car.

Do a search, Im sure there was a thread about it.

Actually, that does ring a bell. But I'm pretty sure that was so long ago, that its probably been 'trimmed' from the boards.

Wasn't it that "FYADUP" chap? Had it stolen, then this came up for sale?
