Zen, how does it feel driving a Rat 2316cc engine?

[samcat]

And approx how much would one of those cost?
Just looking for a ballpark figure...

This one os tuned only for 914 owners. I probably won't offer this engine tuned for a Bug application because of the way it produces power....

This engine has 2.0 Vanagon heads with 2.0 914 plug locations, 7mm stemmed valves, super lioght retainers, and some valve springs derived from another very demanding application.

So in other words this one ain't cheap... The test engine has Nickies :-)

11,000.00 is a good start for this puppy... The heads are around 2,200.00 alone!

Its quite a bit more than a "standard " engine from me..

i'm around...kind of. still been dealing with the family situation and a ton of work. been pretty slammed. need to talk with you this week though Jake about our previous email string.

on the engine...pretty damn awesome. i still have really only had it out in my neighborhood as i have not had time to correct my rear ride height (1.5" clearance at the moment). power is everywhere. no requirement for high revs. it outperforms my 951 going up hills and will kill it 0-60...the rest is all 951 though. no heavy traffic yet, but this was not built as a daily driver. stage 1 clutch and copperhead disc leave you waiting for a couple of car lengths before moving forward. i have yet to really launch it. i have only done some half-hearted ones.

THE POWER IS JUST PLAIN SICK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
