VRSICK, There are very few places to buy a good quality performace type 4 long or short blocks in the states. Try Fat Performance, they do alot of type 4 offroad racing engines. There are several places to get stock short/long blocks but that won't get the HP you want.
I suggest building your own engine, it's not rocket science and that way you know what you've got and can't blame anyone else if it isn't what you thought it would be. Quality parts are available from several sources but I recommend John at Aircooled.net. John only sells good stuff-no junk like you find at alot of VW parts places.
Oliver is correct, it seems that American type 4 engine builders are having a hard time matching the German engine builders when it comes to HP, but we are gaining some.
If you are going for serious HP you will need serious brakes and handling. Sounds like a big project.....go for it.
