Tyler's PhaseII engine is the only other one known to be a running example. Not an engine you ever want to run over 4k for very long. Delicate inernals and VERY expensive to rebuild.
Very cool stuff, if you're into history.

It is VERY cool stuff. I have to ask, do you plan on driving this car or will it be primarily a show piece? I'm not going to argue with you whatever your answer is because (a) I can see validity either way and (b) it's YOUR CAR! LOL. I'm just curious. I would be frightened to run it with that motor, simply due to the potential for disaster, and then where are you? OTOH, the guys that say they run around with a GM ZR-1 experiment and a prototype engine belong to a fairly exclusive club!
