Plenty of people in 914's buy Jakes motors where cost of motor far exceeds the value of the car. If you are an enthusiast you will appreciate what Jake offers. There are lots of cars out there with his motors who are very happy with the investment.
If Jake were to offer a 2.5 to 2.9 rebuild kit and a do it yourself video that a monkey could learn like he did with T4 I might be tempted to go that route.  |
Thanks Grant... I appreciate that..
For those of you that don't know it, Grant and I were always at odds until he bought a Boxster and I started developing these engines.. Now we are as happy as two peas in a pod and on the same page:-)
Picking up the ball where Porsche left it is the key and thats not been easy.. We just found another weak link yesterday that damaged one of our engines so now its time to make more new parts with overkill engineering. This is the first issue we have had and it was on the track and luckily all it ended up being was a broken valve spring... a brand new valve spring from Porsche..
Grant,
The engine kit program is coming... So are the DVDs.
