Unanswered: Manta/Ascona400 (CIH DOHC 2.4) engine for sale in the US?

Hi to all,
This is a second hand info that needs to be rechecked thorougly,
But I thought it might be of interest on your side of the pond:
Looks like a person is selling a 2.4 CIH DOHC engine on the east coast,
Remember this engine can be tuned up to 320hp,
Was fitted on the groupB Manta/Ascona400 in the 80's.
Seller looks like a former MantaA racer in the US in the 80s/90s,
Maybe swedish origin but not sure,
Probably racing other german cars ie BMW.
Looks like nobody wants to buy his CIH DOHC engine because nobody knows about it...
Might be a hoax but just in case,
I will post more info here if I know more.
Good hunt to all!
Hiro
ps: sorry mods I don't know where to post this!

I wonder what the cost would be to make a copy of the head from that engine...
