20b?

Hi guys. My alternator blew up somehow, lit the wiring harness on fire, and then I guess either the fire or the heat damaged one of the engine rotors. The result: I need a new engine.

Now I am past warranty, and it would take 2-3 weeks for a new engine to arrive. I was wondering how difficult would it be to install a triple rotor engine (assuming I had somebody who could do it), and how I would go about acquiring one?

Thanks.

Jeff

And when he says deep pockets, he's talking in the 15-20k range.

Check out this great thread of a current 20b install.

it's 15-20k well worth spent but only if you have that money to spare.
