i saw those and i think that if john fabbed up some 4 inch squishy's you could make SERIOUS street power. Also while heads would be spendier no redrilling of headstuds would be necessary, deck height would be fully adjustable, and it would run cool as a cucumber at 13+:1. if a guy had a set of autocrafts laying around its almost a no brainer. i use the word almost loosely.

My only question after looking at his add is... Who the heck is Brian Marvin and what "World Record" does he hold?

I think Tom pointed out the only thing wrong with the product...>-)

Is he in Portland now?

I thought he was in Bend, or down south Oregon somewhere..

It does look killer.
Addendum to Newtons first law:
zero vehicles on jackstands, square gets a fresh 090 and 1911, cabby gets a blower.
EZ3.6 Vanagon after that.(mounted, needs everything finished) then Creamsicle.

The only point is ,do you trust him?. Have you seen the threads on this guy? Just him using a different name of company and not his name should clue you in. Plus why isn't he a Berg dealer anymore? Just things to ponder.

Hi all

Just thought I would let you know that I purched these Pots off ebay and they arrived today in the post.
I had put my money down before I had read all of your posts about this fellow and I can only say that I got what I payed for. The cylinders are cast and machined and seem fine for the purpose I intend using them for.
Will let you all know how they go in a few months when I have the motor together and running.

Darth :D
