I have posted this up in a few other places, but just adding it here for completeness for the motor library.

Having pretty much finished my SG Coyote build I have been on the look out for an Italian 'Mustang' motor for it. I am sure not too many folks in the UK will have heard of these (I hadn't until I stared looking at the Coyote), but it seems they developed a fearsome reputation over in Italy in the mid to late 80's, being were customized/tuned by a chap by the name of Umberto Milanesi - dubbed as the Italian equivalent to Mike Reedy. I have been sent a race report from the '86 European Championships (A Final tech sheet below) which gives both Milanesi and Mustang a mention, and Coyote team driver Umberto Pernice qualified 2nd behind Phil Davies and ahead of Jamie Booth at the same event the following year, again using Mustang power in his Coyote. I finally got my hands on one, this being a 15 Triple. I would be very interested if anybody happens to have any more information on these motors. I have recently sourced a mobile phone number for Umberto Milanesi so I also hope to gather a little more information from him if I can. I haven't seen another example pop up so far...
