The Raby kit I can say is good stuff. However, buying a complete engine from Jake is WAY expensive, and you're looking at a delay of several months before you get the engine. If you feel you can assemble the kit yourself, do it. If you can't, another guy on 914club.com, McMark (Mark de Bernardi) can assemble one for you from your core for substantially less than Jake charges, and much more quickly. Jake basically only does custom engines these days, and Mark is doing the "standard" builds using Raby parts. jamesm --- Toby Erkson <air_cooled_nut@pobox.com> wrote: > He's on the 914club.com forum.
