I am just passing this along.

That looks familiar but I don't recall who built it.
The motor mount looks like a partial copy of Tracy's early
RV4 motor mount but the center top hard point is a mystery. Perhaps
the builder added that to the airframe.
The two airframes I am familiar with that use the center mount
are Zenair and BearHawk. That does not fit either one.
There may be others.
The intake manifold looks like it would be tuned down around
3500 to 4000 RPM. Perhaps that is a 2.17:1 gear box.
The cooling system would need to be redone IMHO.
Too bad they don't put more pictures on ebay.
The gear box is worth a lot and so too is the early Tracy Crook
EFI regardless if the engine is OK or not. I am not sure I would
pay $4500 but if you can get it for under 3K and you are
satisfied with 150 to 160 HP it MIGHT be OK.
I am not a member of ebay so it would help if somebody was
and they could call the sender for more info. Like what year
was it built and what kind of aircraft does the motor mount fit
in? Also more pictures would help.

P,
You don't have to be an e-bay member to ask a seller a
question... Simply respond to the e-mail address -- I think
it says, "Ask the seller a question".
Best...

That is what I did and it comes up with a log/register page.
Here is what Tracy's early motor mount looked like.
