I have this engine that was with a vintage car frame which I have not been able to identify. So far I have been told it was an early prototype and also I have been told it is custom built. There is no name or number anywhere on it. The spark plugs are Champion V-2. It looks like it is made out of billet aluminum. Any info would be greatly apreciated.
Thanks
Tom

Status: offline 		Here is a picture of the frame that came with it. So far I have been offered 1800 for the motor and 1600 for the frame by pictures alone, but I don't want to sell it until I find out more about it. If it is a custom built motor than I am hoping to find out who built it.
