    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

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

    To the unknowledged, I think Baz is referring to the "Jaws" music
