at my door today, I am speechless..

there is tons of stuff to do to the car before I can install but for now I can just look in the crate.

the picture says it all. I wanted this thing as spare as possible. No alt, cut tin, vanagon blower housing...

going to move as much aux stuff into the pass compartment and trunk to keep install clean. Want to be able to R&R motor in less than an hour.

Jake and the crew at RAT are first class, military precision with passion.

I dig the all business look, no cluter except for those cast aluminum gas pouring devieces left over from the dark ages

Hey, how did you get a motor back from Jake so damn fast???

I seemed like you just tore apart your engine a month ago or so????

Clean, VERY clean. Adheres well to the KISS principle.

We were in the process of kitting a race motor when a slot opened in his schedule. Decided to let him go the rest of the way with it. He already had the case, flywheel, etc...

regarding those gas pouring devices, we run vintage class, they don't like new fangled devices much.

looks great! can you share the dyno numbers or is that top-secret info?

Posted by: synthesisdv Jun 2 2004, 12:37 PM

actually, we would rather not publish all the specs or the dyno results.

It is a %100 legal motor of course.

I understand!

Yep, It has enough power for sure!! I expected exactly what the power was within 2HP!!

That one was fun to build!

BTW, he was lucky enough to sneak in under the wire...

Now we are almost 8 months out on an engine like this.
