It was a truck turbo or somet, driven by vee-belts off the outside of the flywheel. I just got thinking about this with the rotrex stuff - I was wondering if the guy ever got it running properly...

yes - someone had scanned and posted it I recall. No idea where the original post is, but I recall the owner came on here, or someone on here spoke to him and asked him about it - or similar...
