Performance engine sugestions

John....I don't want cheap.....I want reliable.. and I have A LOT to learn about engines. That's why I'm asking for your advice. I need a turnkey, not just a longblock. shipped complete. and aircooled.net doesn't have that on the website. can you build a turnkey performance engine?

BTW, I don;t know what;s GEX or MOFOCO

Ok, I'll email him now with my request. Let's see what does he recomend and if he's willing to do it. Does he aswer his emails?

I didn't say T4...check his website, it says that he still offers 2000+ cc T1's. Unless his website is wrong.

ANT: What's a GEX engine, it seems like everyone here knows but me. And do you really think I can build my first engine without messing it up?

BTW, are you related to Ant?

Ah dunno. But he has built a lot of them over the years.

Don't know that either. He might if a customer really wanted him to give it a shot. Did I read that you were gonna try them?

Generally, yes.

Well, he answers mine at least. ;-)

But a phone call may allow for a better dialog. Sometimes it takes three days of email to cover what could be a 15 minute telephone conversation.

Yep, I remember they took over your links. As the filthy version of Mr. Rogers might ask "Can you say cluster f**k boys and girls?"

Honestly, what they did to your page is a shame. No sense of order or simple grouping of categories. I've given up on using it. But then again, there's always here:

Trust me, 3 emails from me are equivalent to an hour over the phone. Remember I'm overseas, and phone companies here charge a lot on long distance.

I didn't know where you were, sorry. I know the D.R.

Funny how with the GEX or MOFOCO, the bigger the engine, the more honest the value - wait, wait hear me out! BECAUSE bigger displacement means more air in the engine, and bubbah - the only part they can't screw up is the air! Or are they oxygen thieves as well?

No prob. I thought you saw my addy. Can you tell me what is GEX or MOFOCO? everyone here seems to know but me.

Ok, I emailed Steve. Let's see what his recomendations are.

I was thinking about going to RAT for this engine. but everyone here seems to agree in that he is a type4 guy (there's no way to work them here if they brake) and he's REALLY busy all the time. specially for having an engine iliterate like me asking questions.

Let's see what comes out of all of this. Thanks for your help.

If you don't get anything by tommorow night, let me know and I'll give him a call.

For everyone elses info, there used to be several ramvites that know who Steve is. Who remembers Banzai KG (Jim Kikuchi), Nelson "sho-n-prove" Brum and Fweemin' Dan?

isn't Jim the one that stole vwlover's "ramvy" beetle?

Your better off not even knowing these companies :) If your not gonna build an engine yourself, then you need to spend some extra cash with someone thats gonna put a little thought and TLC into building it for you. Mark Detro Englewood, FL
