Porschevy Engine ?, never thought this was possible Options

[yarin]

2.0L case
2.0L heads
Chevy V8 pistons and cylinders (105mm)
2.5L final displacement
8-8.5:1 compression
P&P, 3 angle.

Has anyone ever heard of a Type IV with mixed components like this?

This means the engine wasn't stroked, only bored. I'm assuming with a thicker cylinder wall heat dissipation won't be as bad as an original bore only 2.5l type IV.

Comments? http://www.strictlyvw.com/ built this engine. I know that a LOT of machining must have gone into this.

Of course “Chevy 350” pistons can be purchased in a variety of overbore sizes, such as .020, .030, all the way up to .080 I believe. I just looked up the specs, my pistons said TRW and JE230 on them and measured 104mm. That coupled with the 76mm stroke netted 2580cc’s. I don’t know who made the cylinders, but they were beautiful, very thick steel walls, approaching ¼ inch, and heavy 1/8 forged aluminum fins that were very clean and sharp, like you see on some racing engines. All this talk is making me wish I didn’t trade it off, maybe I could get it back, what would I have to give up? Hmmmm
