Sent John Rego a PM but not sure he will get it since he hasn't posted anything on the forum since 2002.

I tried emailing him but it kicked back as a bad email address.

Looks like this may be the correct lad below?
If emails are all no go, maybe someone closer could try calling him.

The Phonenix Paintworks number is no longer in service.

I called the other number and left a message. Hopefully he calls back or finds his way back to the forum.

Just got off the phone with John. Really nice guy. Gave him the info and he is going to give it a try to get the engine back for his car. Hopefully he'll post up here and share what he finds out.

Good news Darrell!
Not sure if he's involved in the sale on eBay but a forum member was involved in the sale on Craigslist &amp; Kijiji. I believe he wasn't the owner only the broker for the sale. I sent him a PM on March 17 asking about the car but didn't hear back from him.
His name is Pat &amp; he goes by spr on this site.

If you can get his contact info I will pass it along to John. What sucks is it looks like this car is gonna sell in a little over a day; no reserve. Hopefully we can keep track of the car and block.

If he's flush enough and act's quickly, it may be best buy the works and swap engines also other parts then sell the eBay car off again later?
Be in contact w/ the seller in case things makes sense to pull the auction but even if the car sells to someone else, there may be a chance w/ them too.
Either way the L78 extra value this car has now was all free!
Best save/file pics and look for similar build stampings to compare...note engine stamp unique deep O also two style 4's plus a wide M and perfect Q tail etc.
Good luck John!
