when you contact him make sure you specify exactly what you need. he only does what you tell him to do. my friend found out his head was cracked when it came back and response was "you did not ask me to check them"... Jeff Denham does all my heads. when Clyde Berg left Gene Berg Enterprises to open Clyde Berg heads and motors Denham is who did Bergs head work.

Kirin, contact Darren Krewenchuk (sp?) for the headwork. He did my 044 heads and they were works of art. About 600 bucks a long time ago. Are the 94's A or B stroke pistons?? That makes a difference as to what crank you can use. I would go with a nice 1914CC engine, which is 69x94, but you need A stroke pistons to build that one. That, with a good set of heads and a W-120 cam would be an awesome driveable combination. If you let Darren do the headwork, I bet he could get an honest 120HP out of that. It would be super dependable, and wouldn't require massive amounts of money to build. I know you have a supercase, but I would personally go with an AE or AH stock case from VW. WAY better in my opinion. I have not heard good things about some of the supercases, but then, I've been out of the loop for about 5 yrs.
