Gerhard,

I wouldn't be hesitant about buying it, BUT I would use it to get  
yourself familiar with these engines and possibly spare parts. So  
don't pay too much.

On another front, If I was doing this again, I would buy a Renesis  
engine from Bruce!  It has all the modes done, and all the necessary  
stuff that will drive you crazy trying to accomplish yourself.  I  
probably have as much money in my used engine as it would cost for  
Bruce's zreo time engine. I have done probably 15 different brackets  
to support the end of the intake manifold, too weak, in the way of  
the throttle linkage, etc.  I also spent a week trying to find the  
parts to hook up the feed line for Tracy's redrive.  It's the small  
things that will drive you CRAZY.

Bob
