Ok first of all let me say if this is totally inapropriate or if you do not approve Mr. Raby please say so and mod's delete her on out.


I have been looking through the RAT website and can not find a price range for the engines. So I was wondering what all engines people on here have, what the hp and tq numbers are, and a price that they paid. Maybe also when they got it? I know the price will not be exactly the same but I am curious to know what some of the engines are being built for as a basic price line. Also how do you like the motor, is it reliable, any maintanance done etc. I am very curious or if this has been done before could someone give me some assistance via link. I'm search illiterate.

Thank you,
Derek

AFAIK Jake prefers to speak to each person individually to determine their wants and needs vs. their budget; therefore, ballpark numbers are not listed on his site.....recommend you call him. IMHO, the popular perception is that he is somewhat "pricey" although I think the majority also feel you get what you pay for. Jake won't respond to your request here either as he has (to my understanding) "sworn off" any marketing discussion on this forum re: his work. How about a Suby conversion? (I think he's working on that too)
