It is common that they will not respond at e-mails...Call them they speak English French and German very well 00497221-972224 and 00497221-972225...
As for the cooling it is a issue as with the temps that we have here is good only for "winter driving" !!!

I am seriously thinking of selling my 2.7 type 4 motor and my M3 in order to finance the pauter engine with a hewland gearbox.

What Hewland box are you thinking of using? The Mk9 (VW case) and the FD200 are only rated at 150lb.ft torque. The alternative quoted is the FTR that is still only rated at 240lb.ft and I would expect that your Pauter would develop more than that. The other thing is that most of the competition 'boxes have dog clutch engagement that is a noisy pain on the street. You might be better off with a G50 + oil cooling that'll just about handle the torque although it'll need some chassis mods.

Only one MAJOR problem to my plans. Here in Greece the financial situation is a mess at the moment, therefore there is no-one buying.
