Looking for some help from you guys since this group seems to have the most well rounded and resourceful members.
I am trying to track down an Indy Racing League spec Aurora (or the parts to assemble the majority of one) from 1997-2001. (for those not familiar, I am specifically looking for the Oldsmobile Aurora 4.0 spec indy motor).
I have tried contacting the various manufacturers that were authorized to initially sell these motors to teams (such as Katech), but they all seem to have liquidated any left-over stock of cylinder cases and heads.
I have searched pretty extensively, and found that about a year ago a gentleman from Wilson manifolds had purchased a lot and blew them out on a land racing forum and blew them out dirt cheap, but of course I was a day late and a dollar short.
Does anyone have any insight as to where I could track down some parts or maybe a unicorn of a back-up that some team never used?
Any condition is fine by me as long as I can get my hands on the core components.
Thanks in advance,
Brandon
