John: Please list the alternates of a Boston Bob engine.
Seems that it is very seldom that anybody buys anything else besides a
Boston Bob engine for a WB.
Larry Chase bought an engine that had serious breakdowns after 12,000 miles.
A recent post really blasted APV.
Who are other sources of WB engines???
Just out of curiosity I'd like to know if a list member has ever bought a
Jake Raby engine.
I'm on several Porsche list and I have never found anybody that has bought
from him.
