Their is a guy called john dodd not far from me in epsom who's father fitted one of those in a special he built some years back,not sure if its still running but i have a couple of pics that i'll post up if i can get them scanned.

Also i'm popping down to the brooklands museum at weybrifge tuesday to have a look at there Hurricane project,they have just fitted the merlin engine but are short of the headers 3 a side.
I'd tell the old boys to check out ebay but i'm not sure they know what a pc is yet.LOL
