Any engine conversion is going to require some "ownership". There are so many variables that can't be totally accounted for. Even Hendricks racing engines that cost $75K blow up. It is the nature of trying to get more out of an engine than it was originally designed for. It is always better to try and get a resolution privately. Even though this came public, it sounds like the company wants to help.

I would be embarrased if my father in-law had to fight my battles for me. Time for someone to grow a set.

To the Bostig Guys:

From everything posted on this and multiple post about your product, I do not think you have to worry about your reputation. It has been proven.

Keep up the good work.

Well said Chris! I'll add that this has only enhanced their excellent reputation - in my eyes, at the very least.

Dude...unnecessary thread resurrection! Hang around a bit and you might get the drift. And keep the religiosity specific to load ratings, conversions, and engine lube.

Jim and Brady installed their conversion on my '83 camper. In fact they filmed it for their DIY video. We've never had a minutes trouble with that conversion. It's been incredibly reliable and a joy to drive.
I'll probably be contacting them soon, because we need to transfer the engine to a, very clean, '85 weekender that we just purchased.

Supercharged?...anyway, I noticed they have set a "public" release date for the turbo addition. Seven + yrs of R&D :!: Should be interesting to hear reviews if anyone is bold enough to post here.

I was over at Bostig a couple of weeks back and took their syncro for a spin.

HOLY FREEKIN JEEBUS.

It went like shit off well oiled shovel. I'm not sure my 3L v6 could have kept up with it.

I'd like to hijack this thread in to a suggested list of excuses for the significant other on where all the savings went.

Btw. I consider myself a fairly perceptive judge of character (if not much else) and in talking to the Bostig lads, it didnt take much to tell they're a solid lot who will do what it takes to make things right.
