I found this pb10 awhile ago, thought I’d share.
I have the engine for it somewhere. The seller said he was going to build a ‘79 Phil booth rep. I noticed the rear axle was an upgrade. The engine is supposed to be the same for the replica. I don’t know much about it but it’s cool as heck. I’m not sure if I should carry on with his plan or just build it how I want. I have everything to complete it including period tan futaba electronics. To build the replica would be tedious im guessing due to parts availability.

I found the engine, it’s a veco .19 and it’s got what I believe is the McCoy kit being the head, the carb and the piston and sleeve.
I don’t know anything about it, just what I have researched in the past week and can’t read French. I have all the original stuff for the engine in the box. I decided to keep the tall mccoy head and cut the original body. I don’t like cutting og unobtainum bodies but it had to be done. The pipe is a tatone peace pipe I think. Correct me if I’m wrong on anything.
