What a waste of post # 500 this is going to be....
Suggest he advertises in the Classifieds, or posts to Discussion, on http://www.honestjohn.co.uk/forum/index.htm. There's a lot of people there who might just have such a thing tucked away in their shed...

Try the kit car magazines ( paper things ) They are always selling engines.
If not a large gagrgae my way sells good stuff . They are called Silverlake gargages/ salvage merchants . Maybe worth a call .
ASk yell.com for salvage experts in Portsmouth. They deliver .
Well smokie its the next one that makes you a god , thankfully

Maybe if we take some spanners and a large rucksack with us to Haynes next time, we could "borrow" one from their Viper?

Wishy, if your mates REALLY desparate, I've got a P6 block with crankshaft and pistons in my garage (no heads or anything else) he can have for nothing.
I can't remember if the mains and big ends are any good. My mate gave it to me for a (long abandoned) project when he swapped the 3.5 P6 in his cobra for a 4.8 Rover / TVR engine. (I'm near Colchester).
Alternatively, theres RPI Engineering in Norwich http://www.v8engines.com/
or http://www.p6spares.co.uk/ or anything else Google can throw at you.

Yes, the very same. They are the biggest motoring publisher in the world bar-none. There is the Haynes Motor Museum (great site, one of mine ;) ) (http://www.haynesmotormuseum.co.uk) the museum has a test track for the exhibits (there are over 400 of them).
