OK let's just copy the Le Mans engine exactly. I think a lot of

What would you pay for one, or six.  I know a guy who claims to know where
those Lemans engines sit.  They might even be for sale.

I was just talking to Jim Mederer about four rotors
and he thought you could buy some for $40,000 to $50,000.
Jim Mederer thinks it is too hard to make a four rotor shaft. 
I am not so sure. It looks like a symetrical three rotor shaft.
