I'm looking into increasing the power in my CAV - currently with a Ford Racing 302 and Holley. A stroker 347 with webers is certainly tempting (have been watching the T&L review thread) but I'm also intrigued by the possibility of a 4.6 modular with webers as sold by KarKraft. See here: 4.6 WEBER and here: YouTube - Kar Kraft Weber Modular Engine
My main points of inquiry are:
1. Dimensionally, even with the twin cam heads I'm guessing that size isn't a problem but perhaps it is?
2. Trans adapter - anybody know of an adapter kit for an audi 016 for this engine?
3. Weight - the ally block on the modular likely saves some weight over an iron block 302/331/347 however I'm not sure if the modular twin cam heads add an equivalent amount of weight back into the total package. Anybody know about relative weight?
I'm intrigued by the 4.6 modular because I like 4 cam engines and I'd like to save some weight if possible. The KarKraft spec for the weber induction is 400hp/360 torque which is plenty for me. The KarKraft complete price of $8,900 certainly is tempting.
Thanks in advance for any thoughts.
