Thanks for the hgeads up on EB Spares and Mangoletsi - maybe Black & White garage up the road from me can help too - heard anything good about them? They're in Auto Italia this month I seem to remember??
I read Chris' post over on the Stratos Supersite - really feel for him and the other connected with 'that piece' of 'journalism' As you say - it's supposedly entertainment - same as dropping pianos on Marinas and pieces falling off a Beta - still it was still running even though it was on fire!!!
I'm of the opinion that any exposire is good and those in the know, know what it's all about. I love Chris' Stratos, I spent a long time chatting to him at the NEC last year and I know I will build one once I've got my Monte to where I want it to be - hey, I already have the engine and box for the Strat!!

I'll have to dig out that article and pop over sometime for a chat and to drool over your car - if that's ok with you of course!! ;o))
I know MS works on a 12 valve blown engine as my mate has one running in his Monte. I'm looking at using that as a starting point and maybe doing some mods to the engine before dropping it in.
I've got to get my car on the road and out of the garage so I have the space to build this lump and get it properly planned so the car is off the road for the shortest possible time! I've got a plan to use a rotted rear end of a Monte to get it all set up so I'm hoping that all I'll have to literally to is fit everything and weld in pre-made mounts.
2 biggest jobs I see with this project are exhaust and fuel tank fabrication.
Cheers
