Pauter big block 3140cc type 4

[70Turbobug]

He has already built several customer 3.1 (105x88) and 3.2 (106x90) Liter type 4´s with his heads and Deutz cylinders,they seem to work very well together.IIRC they have replaced the JE cylinders he used before on all large type 4s.There are various Deutz cylinders available.Cooling has never been a problem with Deutz cylinders and they are by far the strongest aircooled cylinders available.A lot of maching is required to make them fit,but its worth it.The material gives off heat very well,much better than a stock cylinder.They are designed to work hours on end in the worst imaginable conditions in Industrial applications.The only negative thing I see is that they are very heavy,hard to machine and need a lot of maching to fit.The Remmele heads are cast aluminum.Yes,they are heavy because they were designed for large engines.But the cooling is excellent.They also have a lot of potential that hasn´t been unlocked yet imho.Eddy´s car is not a 1/4 mile car,though.I doubt if it turns low 11´s in street trim.He has 19" wheels on it and the car weighs about 850kg.Hood,decklid,fenders,runningboards are carbon fiber,the rest is stock steel.The transmission is a out of the old 911 carerra 2.7 RSR with the magnesium case.

Very cool to hear Mark! Thats very unexpected as one would assume that alu cylinders would be the very least that would work with such a large engine and those heads.
I agree, his heads and the ports are so large that only a really big engine would fully show their potential.
850kg is very lightweight! All the carbon does work in the end huh?
Thanks for the insight!
