I finally got to watch the video. The sound has not worked on my computor for a few days, but my son just showed me how to use head phones, the little smart ass. LOL
You really out did yourself this time Jake, and did what NO one has done before T4 wise. With the engine kits, you have basically created your own market. Tell us how much labor you have in these kits to make them work...I believe you mentioned sometime back that there is a good bit in preparing these kits so thetre will not be clearence problems and so forth.
I'm still glad I had you build mine, heck, I'd loose half the parts in my garage. LOL

Jake,
I must start by saying CONGRATULATIONS!!
I spent over an hour last nigh going through the store. Just watched the video. Very nice. I can't wait until you have more up on the store site so I can go check it out. Fortunately for my wallet, I'm knee deep in a couple other projects at the moment. Once I get time, I'll be logging on for a cam, oil pump, gaskets, bearings, header, etc.
Great job

AMAZING JOB JAKE, congratulatory regards are at order! You really outdone yourself. I am definitely planning this year to build those two powerplants for my two cars with your parts and suggestions! I do have some more excess Type I and IV part sell locally or auction off and I should raise some of the needed funds fairly soon.
Man you got me going in my head

Totally different, much more refined and more heavy duty engine than a Type I. Start doing searches and reading here on the STF to educate yourself! See the Type4rum here for all the answers you need!
The type4store.com is parts only...and engine KITS
www.aircooledtechnology.com is my site for our custom Turnkey engines, start reading there.

huge congrats Jake! it made for an interesting weekend making a few changes at the last minute, but it all worked out. as you can tell, i don't stress easy. 
glad things are rolling and based on the bandwidth usage (minus the video) i just looked at, there are many eyes on the store. hope many of those are translating to sales.
this really is a landmark time. who, outside of Jake, thought they would see this kind of dedication to the TIV? congrats again!
