Try Paul Nalson 01883 340062, in Caterham, he is an Aircraft Breaker and often has lots of engines lying about, though often when he comes to break them they have normally ended up on their noses, so the engines take a hit.
Another that might be worth asking

Might be worth trying Isenburg Engineering at Southend Airport; they do engine rebuilds and could have enough bits to make an externally complete unit.

Probably not fussed…the originals were 145hp Continental IO-300Cs.
