I believe the original engine was purchased when Dave C. owned it. The original block was stored under the bench of the mechanic that replaced it under warranty at the dealership. The deal was consummated at the Supercar Reunion in 2004, 5 or 6. I was there but don't recall the year. Dave was somewhat reluctant to purchase at the asking price and Charley and I worked on him and the deal was done. I'm not sure the original engine was ever installed and lost track when Dave sold the car....
