I found an engine for sale locally. It is a Masi 16v engine, this is what the add says. "this is an engine that was a prototype from ECS/ROUSH Racing. This was designed for Chrysler for the 24 Hours of Daytona, by De Tomaso and Maserati this is a Turbo" Does anybody know anything about this? There are pictures of the motor with the normal Masi valve cover, and a valve cover that says "Chrysler by De Tomaso" on top and "DOHC 16V" on the bottom.
Wild guess, wraith car motor???

It is definitely a turbo. It is on craigslist here somewhat locally, maybe an hour from me. I e-mailed the guy for some more info, but no response. I honestly don't have the money right now unless it is dirt cheap. The guy just says make offer... Anyway, it would be nice to see a fellow member get this. Here is the link to the add: http://atlanta.craigslist.org/nat/cto/3144221728.html
This thread should probably be moved to the ebay/adds section.
3rd pic is a Talon engine, 4g63.
Not an expert but based on the pics posted here, looks like a regular Masi motor.

Indeed.
I'm surprised the usual suspects haven't scooped it up yet.
Turbo and manifolds look stock, T-couple in the In Mani so that's not stock. Fuel lines are 'late style', 89's and early went over the VC not around like this one (and the 90 Masi motors) so this being proto is questionable IMO... Wondering why a race motor has an AC bracketWeird for sure

Talk to the guy about the motor last night, he is a bank liquidator. The bank put an appraisal of $5000 on the motor and I about choked on my drink after he said that. He seems to think that the motor is something special that has something to do with Roush Racing, but no documentation. As far as the valve cover, it might be an early production cover when Masi wanted to deal with Chrysler and maybe they change it after the first run. He did say the motor has ties with a company in Alabama, but I asked around today with the guys that would know and they have no history or word of it being a 24hr motor.

Maybe for the Indy engine... Not so much on the rest.

Yeah, that's waaaaaay out of my price range!!! I was thinking it could be snagged for a couple hundred, but I'm not going to mess with that.
Trouble with a "didn't happen" motor, if one or more of those are one, is everyone can go round saying they had a motor intended for Daytona, LeMans, The Moon Rover, etc but it didn't happen.

I saw that to and also wondered why they would write "stock intake".Wondering why a race motor has an AC bracket

The whole thing is odd, If it wasn't for that valve cover, I would think it is just a normal Masi 16v. Has anybody seen a valve cover like that before?

If you look closely at the DeTomaso valve cover, you can see the bolt pattern does not match the motor in the pic or a regular production Masi 16v head. Unfortunately it doesn't look like it would be useable.
