Well I got to just ask myself who is buying Jake's engines and what he's
building.
I've never found anybody on Vanagon List, Type 2 list or any of three
Porsche list that ever bought one of his engines.
I suppose he's got engines corralled for the kit cars or dune buggies cause
I've never seen a car on E bay with one of his engines.
I've been told that his engines are expensive so possibly he doesn't have to
build many.
