I an employed as a
vocational auto shop teacher at a non profit alternative school where, we have
two auto shops that serve as a venue teaching "at risk youth" basic automotive
skills. This is acomplished in a unigue setting by building speedster repicars
from the shortened type 1 pan up to completion.
My post regarding Jake Raby's is accurate to the "T". I aquired my "attention to detail attitude" dad was a man of perfection........ the "old german" occupation of tool and die maker. I must admit at times working along side of him was P.I.T.A Being "my father's son" what I did learn......was to reconize high quality when I see it.
Jake Raby is to be praised and applauded for his engine knowledge skills and attention to the customers needs. Prior to selecting Jake's engines, my counterpart from our other vocational auto shop, Rocky, Jake and I spent and hour on a 3 way phone call discussing the Raby T-IV engine and believe me we grilled Jake with details!. After our conversation we were impressed beyond doubt! Jake also took the time to keep in contact as the build's progressed at his shop. We received the engines in a timely manner and found them to be all that Jake assured us they would be.The engineered Type IV engines we have purchased are an excellent product, the attention to detail is astounding.
To conclude ....Do your homework, spend time with other suppliers ASK questions and make you own conclusions.....we did and without hesitation would do so again!

Update!! April 21, 2003:
Hey Jake !
This is Alan Merklin from Youth Services Agency ...I thought
I would give you an update of the two engines we purchaed form you. The bigger
of the two that we installed into Roger's Speedster is flawless after some 7-8
months! No cooling issues , no leaks , just excellent all around
performance!
The second engine was finally installed into our show quality Speedster a few weeks ago ,I fired it up last week for the first time. We had a slight problem ...12v into coil, voltage back out but 009 or Compufire was faulty so, I pulled it out as a unit , replaced it with a new in the box 009 and Pertronix Ignitor and it fired right up !
Reason for this email is to send any inquiries our / my way for a positive referrence! We are pleased as punch !
Best regards!
