I remember it being for sale...the engine...years ago.
From memory it had been in a jet boat?
It is still in NZ somewhere, I remember reading about it in the NZHRM a year or 2 ago.
A grouse looking engine!!!

Yeah Boss, after Roy finished here and went to Oz one of the jetsprint guys bought it and stuck it in a short hull, but he barely used it due to work commitments, another jetsprinter bought it for the same purpose but they couldn't use the torque of it (mainly because technology in the jet units was not advanced enough to efficiently harness 650 ft/lb, and hull design was not helping either), so it was purchased by somebody who I understand used it as a lounge ornament/furnature! That was probably 20 years ago so who knows what's happened to it now? I can follow that up, actually, as I do WoFs for his son.
