@Don m: Don Pauterīs 3 liter motor is impressive and I know itīs been in his Ghia since 2005 as a daily driver.The question is,however,how would it hold up on the european autobahns where the average speed is much higher than in the states? Here we have an overall average of about 130Km/h (80mph) ,sometimes full throttle of 130+mph for for 5 or 10 minutes regularly.Iīm not doubting Don Pauters ability or his quality,but that engine is made for a differe3nt market, like the typical daily driver and weekend 1/4 mile racer.[/QUOTE]
I totally agree, DIFFERENT MARKET, DIFFERENT USE. Anyway
there is another rumor going on though. Another strong builder JP from Sweden. He has done IMPRESSIVE STUFF to say at least with type i engines. The new rumor is that he will start building parts for type iv engines as well. If that happens we will see great parts coming up for serious performance addicts.
