Any Yaw employees out there?

Anyone out there worked for Mr. Yaw about two years ago? I have a 12a engine that was built by Yaw Power but only the word of the PO to back it up. I believe the guy because he's definitely not hurting for money but he didn't have a build sheet. He has had at least two engines built by Yaw within the past 2 years for his race cars. The reason I ask is that the vehicle the motor was going to go into, 67 Datsun Roadster, got rear ended by a witch in a Lexus SUV yesterday and I'm thinking they may total it. If that's what it comes down to, I may sell the motor but would like to get my facts straight on the motor first. Please PM me if you can help me out and I'll see if the guy's name rings any bells. Apparently he has all the parts shipped from Mazdaspeed and Racing Beat straight to Yaw Power (maybe this is common practice?). Much appreciated.

Kent

Hmm, have you tried contacting them directly? I wasn't aware that they did anything other than carb mods (past tense) until I found their website:

I emailed twice with no response so I figured that it may be priveleged information between the customer and the shop. I guess I'll try calling them. All they can say is no, right? Hopefully I'm jumping the gun and the car will be repairable but I'm preparing for the worst.
