A lot of it went back to where it began--midget class and other oval racing. I
knew a guy in Florida in the early `80s
that cleaned out enough for about three Offie engines from the garage of the
widow of a midget racer.
Of course, if you still want to try it, Fossil Motorsports in CA is making
reproduction parts. *smile*
Cheers.
