Hi Mud,

Ignore all these naysayers wedded as they are to their luddite technology based on 1930 yank cast iron...........If you want to use one of the deliciously revvy Audi V8's do so.

However, if the engine is wider than say 720 cms you will have to alter the tops of the footwells to fit the camshaft covers in, but it is not an insurmoutable problem.

Also be aware that you should plan for using catalytic converters for the SVA. Once tested however cats have a nasty habit of falling off and rolling under the workbench, thus liberating some more horse power for free.

Cheers,

Tony
