    There was mention of it in the latest issue of HOT ROD as well.
    H&H has taken over production of Navarro speed equipment and plan on producing some intakes that haven't been made in a long time.
    Pretty cool shit!

    Don Ferguson is also working on a SCoT blower repop. Considering the quality of his Ardun heads, I expect they will be top quality, near perfect reproductions.

    Hummm ... me too.

    Maybe I should have jumped into the selling frenzie that was on Ebay a while ago.
    An original reportedly went for OVER $30,000.00!

    Can't confirm the price, the seller kept pulling it off, because bidding didn't reach his reserve.
    But he kept putting it back up again and; .... don't know what happened.

    Think I'll hold off, until prices on the repops is advertised.
    They sure look beautiful!

    Is that blower case a casting or billet? It looks like it was made from billet to me.

    Check the link at the top (thread); there will be BOTH! Cast and CNC milled.
    The picture is of a prototype.

    Oh, that's pretty cool that they are offering them cast and billet. I bet that billet chunk costs a pretty penney before they even touch it. I'm sure they will use a CNC on the cast ones also. Not much production is done on a handle machine anymore.

    wow, I just checked out the link.

    "This one I have been manually machining beings it is the first one and is a prototype (it is sold already) but the production ones will be done completely on our CNC milling machine."

    That guy is pretty damn good to do that on a handle machine!

    I will sell my SCOT

    Don is making the largest of the SCOTs which looks a lot better on my Ardun. :)

    Those guys talked me into putting the whole mess into my chopped 40

    I'm not throwing stones, or questioning the guy's skills, but I'm thinking that if I was going to undertake this challenge, and had a CNC machine at my disposal, I'd probably also know somebody who can do CAD...and then plug the CAD into the CNC and save a helluva lot of work and time.
