Scattershield or OEM Bellhousing

It is a nice engine (or was). Its actually a GTSR block and crank. Reportedly built by the guys who built the Oreca cars for Lemans. Ran really really well for the past three years and then let go approaching T6 at Road Atlanta.
So now the question..... try to source a GTSR crank or swap motors. GTSR's were the hot ticket in 1999 when this one was built but parts are tough to find 12 years later.
No NOS (illegal in SCCA and NASA) as this is a road course car.
Anybody with ideas on where to find GTSR parts?

Edit: Got a heads up. Didn't want to bring back bad memories. JonB maybe?

Thanks, but I frankly wouldn't trust a thing those guys ever did. I'd have to have it sent to a reputable shop and mic'd, balanced and fully examined by someone I trusted before I would send those crooks a nickel.
I do appreciate the idea, and that you're trying to help, but that just conjured up some nasty memories.

Edited my post, JonB?
Thx!
I have a call into JonB but he's at a MoSports event until Thursday. He may return the call later this week. I have checked with a bunch of sources (Archer, Greg G, Jon B, Mopar Parts, DCP etc) but so far, no crank.The journals are reportedly smaller on the GTSR so one can always machine an OEM crank to fit. May have to go that route if I can't find one.
Camfab, thanks....I did notice that FatAlbert has a GTSR block for sale in the classifieds....but no separate crank. Its pretty spendy
and my block seems fine so that's probably not the best way to go. I do appreciate the help of the VCA community on this'n.Doh! I went back to the classifieds and there is a pic of a crank by itself, in a box. Thanks for the prompt.....the intro picture led me to believe it was a package-deal motor.
