Robert Pond Performance
« on: November 14, 2017, 07:39:13 PM »
I heard today that Robert Pond had gone under as far as his FE block and maybe head production is concerned. Has anyone else heard anything like this. Hopefully it was just a vicious rumor.  :(

Edit by Jay B:  I just spoke with Robert and there is no truth to that rumor.

It's not true. He has Aluminum Fe blocks, heads and a lot of other parts ready to ship

Robert just told me that he's got about a half mil in inventory, so I don't see him going under any time soon.  :)

I've purchased replacement sleeves from Robert before, several years ago.  I assume he still has them...
