After 30 years of dreaming, 12 years of reading here in the forum, I can finally start to realize my dream of the MK IV. I know it's going to be a very long race, but hey what the heck if not now then when. For a long time I thought I wouldn't get any parts, but thanks to the forum, it still...

Okay, guys, 390 "screamer" doesn't sound bad ;) First I have to find a used engine. What has to be considered when buying? It's probably difficult to detect some problem areas without opening the engine. Are there any weak points on the block that you can see before disassembling it?

Here are a few measurements from a CAD model that looks relatively accurate. Can it be true?

Hi, i would like to use a 351/427 crate engine in my MK IV project. In combination with an Audi R8 gearbox (Graziano). In order to design the tube frame in CAD I am looking for the exact dimensions of the engine. Does anyone of you have the exact dimensions or even better an exact CAD model? I...

A very interesting question! I also have this engine in mind, but I am also wondering about the price. What do you get for your money?
