No they would not, as they would otherwise pose a threat to the factory team. Only manor got the factory motors as they were a nice place to valitate changes to the works engines without being overtaken by it. A few years back Toto openly admitted the customer engines were not at the factory levels of performance. Ferrari have the same attitude, they are not in the F1 business to het beaten by their own engines, simple as that.
Personally if i was Zak Brown i would find an automotive backer and get Ilmor to build them an F1 engine for 2018, as they will never be allowed to win races with a customer motor. Perhaps someone like Jaguar LandRover could be tempted, it would be a great 3-way partnership.
