Look what I found sitting out in a barn! 
After removing the covers and clearing off the dust, I found these Twin Turbo engines. Aluminum Blocks, Aluminum Heads along with a whole lot of goodies inside and out!
As I removed each component I would find more and more engineering that just amazed me!
The creative ideas that lay inside these engines were just unbelieveable.
I hope OSO can help me with finding the person that may have designed and/or built these engines.
There is one person's name that comes to mind, Bruce Falls?
I have 32 photos I will post here to share.
Maybe somoene knows where I can find out more information about these engines and possibly get more parts for them?
I hear they were in a 42 CUV at one time and a few other boats as well.
Come on OSO!
Info needed.... Thanks!

Hey Sharkey - I just spoke with Wiley McCoy at McLaren Engines about these engines. He says he knows "everything about them". Call him at (248) 477-6240.

This thread is over 3 years old.
A friend of mine is no longer involved with the boat and I have lost touch on the status. Last I heard they eventually got them on a dyno but were still working out some kinks...
Obviously the owner is in no rush to get this boat together.

Last I heard the boat was tested with the engines on Barnegat Bay.
Kept hearing all the things they would like to do but the boat has yet to see a race course in all of these years.
I don't know everything, but I know when to stop listening after hearing the future plans several times....
