I just got a email from Len Hoffman today. He is focused on producing new Heads, not rebuilding used ones anymore (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif)

I appreciate it too, and no disrespect was expressed or intended. It is what it is, but $2500 just for heads will put a kink in a lot of budgets. That's three times the price of a rebuild from just a few years ago. Which means that other less attractive alternatives are going to be considered, and one will be the crusher. Who knows, with the thinning of the herd maybe those predictions of 356 style price appreciation will actually come to pass.

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) I have a watercooled turbo V6 in my 914. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif) It's getting twin turbo'd and bored and stroked. There's no way I could get the hp numbers that I'm after out of a type 4. I still appreciate what Jake and Len are doing. When I get my first $mil... one of my celebratory purchases will be a fun cruiser that's Jake-powered. |
