Re: Car Parts
Contact, Cosworth, Ilmor, Judd etc, for a start. It can't hurt.
Failing that, Ebay, or motorsport auctions or classifieds, like at the back of Autosport magazine.
My friend actually has a piston from a Cosworth V10 (Jaguar era). It is a beautiful piece of engineering, I must say.....

Re: Car Parts
The "Ferrari Store" in Maranello. It's directly across the street from the entrance to the Ferrari factory and next door to Il Cavallino Ristorante. When one of the factory drivers bends one of their racing cars or lunches the engine, they sell off the bent bits there. They come with a testament of provenance.
The journal arrangement of a 10-cylinder engine's crank was a mystery to me until I saw one on offer there. It's still a mystery.
Or you can just visit Ferrari Store dot Com.

Re: Car Parts
Ilmor don't do F1 engines any more from what I got from an article I read the other day. They have however just won a big military contract.

A racing car that does not win, is just art

Re: Car Parts
Yes and no. The facility in Brixworth still builds Mercedes F1 engines. But has had a name change, and is part of Mercedes' motorsport division
Roger Penske and Mario Illien bought the Special Projects division from them, as ell as the Ilmor name....
