Wanted:Fordon Major engine

Hi, I am looking for a replacement Fordon Major engine unit- doesnt need ancilliaries and even just a good block will do-
Its to go into a boat installation so could do with being the industrial type but if a tractor one would fit that would be fine too,
have cash waiting and im in the uk!
