Glen,

If you search WIX by using the keywords"Fifi engines" and select "search for all terms" you will find an explanation by browsing the various threads pertaining to this project. It's going to be a great package, Gary is just waiting for the funding to be ironed out as of this point before he can begin. All four engines will be identical, components from more than one Dash number are being used to build them up.

Did the promised funding ever arrive? I think the last time Gary mentioned it, he said that the first payment had not yet been made.
