So, it's like a twin turbo version of the FTO motor. I looked at it initially, but went away from it because of the cast iron block which makes it weigh a ton. A guy contacted me ages ago and said he was putting one in a manx, and I said it would be way too heavy and would handle like a pig. In a bus it would be ok.
If you have bought the car I am thinking of, it was in a pretty sad state and what was left of the engine looks like it had been sitting for ages.
