Dead Chipmunk engine, anyone?

There aren't many places where one can go around asking this particular question so I hope it is alright on here...

Does anyone have a dead Chippie engine that could be dropped into a Museum aircraft in the UK? We have the exhaust, engine bearers and a prop to sit inside the cowlings but a full engine would be a bonus. It wouldn't matter how stuffed it was, so long as it would hold the necessary parts in place that the cowlings could be left open.

Thanks.

Both Vintech and Deltair service Gipsy engines. Could be worth talking to either of them.
