I have been trying to contact Mike Sharp for about a week now by email with no response. Anyone know 1. Is he still in business and 2. If so, what the price of his 911-style shroud kit is?

And if anyone knows of an alternative email address to the one on his web site please pass it along. Thanks-

[ViolentBlue]

he's usually prety slow to answer his email, but he usually does
if you want I'll email you the price/info sheet on the 911 shroud

fuel pump block off plate?
correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe the type4 engine uses an externally mounted electric pump.

That one had me a little confused too. Maybe there's some version of later bus motor that had a mechanical pump? I don't know.

The T4 engines that came with dual carbs (74 bus I think is one) had a mechanical fuel pump mounted on the block.
