Mark,

Can you comment on your "Marks Aircooled 914 2.0 44X38mm superheads "

Is this something that you have done in house ? Specs ?

Thanks,

Sandeep

Mark the canuck,

Just a sidenote. When I got to your site's main page, and clicked on any links on the side(using Firefox) I got the result as below. Just thought you would like to know...

They are just 44mm by 38mm heads for 103mm jugs with some port and chamber work.... oh and 12mm plugs, 8mm rocker studs, dual springs, cr-mo retainers, seats with 4 angles, some nice SS valves, a bit of welding and a couple of other tricks. I have an old Swiss chap help me out with these...very good but they (he)take a lot of time.
They are a PITA to do right, doubt if I'll do many, I'd want at least about $15-1600pr +cores, even then I still would make squat on them.

I had my site jacked a while back, who ever has that up is a bottom feeder.
Try the link at the bottom of my post.

Sounds great. Will be great to hear it go.

I've got my heads packaged up and they are on their way to HAM next week for some turbo tricks. I'm gunning for 18 - 20 psi in this motor as a daily driver. Hoping to hit 250 fwhp consistantly.

Must of taken a lot of work to make that front wheel drive:p :D

Still on the fence on doing a turbo on the 914 or the bug, going to have to "git 'er done" soon though.

The speedster just got here, can't do much till tomorrow....I only have it here for a week.
