Where can you go about purchasing an F1 engine and who wants to buy a kidney?

you'd need to sell far more than just a kidney...

hard to call, but i know for a fact only one of them is an alcoholic so their kidneys should be nice and healthy. they each get a can of alpo a day so they are well feed.

seems all right, but I still don't think you've got enough for a 1.5 V6 TAG Formula 1 engine.

Despite all of the priceless racing cars on display, the car that caught my attention the most was one that I wasn't sure even existed until I saw it parked by the window. At first glance, it looked like a perfectly ordinary 1980s Porsche 911, albeit in time-warp mint condition. As I walked around the car, though, there were clues that this car was something a bit special. A set of lovely five-spoke RUF wheels, a big green 'Start' button in the centre console, and, oh yes, a pair of stinking great intercoolers sticking out of the engine compartment at the rear.
This was a unicorn car, one whose existence was previously only a rumour; a Porsche 911 fitted with a 1.5l V6 TAG Turbo Formula 1 engine where there should ordinarily be a regular Porsche flat six. Built as a testbed for the Porsche-developed, TAG-funded turbo engine that powered McLaren's F1 cars in the mid-80s, this unique Porsche has spent much of its life in a McLaren storage facility. It was a real treat to see it out on display, and fascinating to marvel at how neatly the F1 engine nestled in the 911's engine bay. Ignoring the signs warning that photography inside the boulevard wasn't permitted, I discreetly took a few shots of the Porsche, just to prove something so incredible as an F1-engined 911 really does exist.
I would dearly love to know how fast it is, given that the twin-turbo V6 developed over 1,000bhp in qualifying trim, but apparently all attempts to convince McLaren to lend it out for a road test have failed. Shame.

Someone posted this earlier yesterday somewhere (was it here? IDK) I thought it was a typo, and someone saw "TAG" and "Porsche" and called it and F1 engine.
While looking for information on it, I found the site and what do you know... It was the 1.5 V6. Mind blown.

Hey guys, does anyone have a pic of the rear? A friend of mine is duplicating the car in Lightwave and needs a pic of the rear.
