<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><BR> </DIV></FONT>>It seems that I may be
able to easily sell both my old 1.8l 16v shortblock<BR>>*and* the 2.0l 16v
block that I bought back in July. So, I've been<BR>>considering going the ABA
tallblock route for some more power. Yeah, it'll<BR>>take some extra
figgerin' with the belts, pullys, and stuff, but there seems<BR>>to be a bit
more power and smoothness potential.<BR>><BR>>Share some thoughts on this,
please? The compression would have to be<BR>>increased, too. I'm going all
motor right now, so the 8:1 that I'd be left<BR>>with by just mating the 8v
ABA block with a 16v head is not going to be<BR>>enough. Any ideas? I figure
that it'll have to be done in either the pistons<BR>>or the head. I'm *not*
going to install forged pistons and the expense is<BR>>more than I can handle
in the first place.However, is decking the head to<BR>>that extent safe or
even optimal for that matter?<BR>><BR>>As for the hood clearance, I've got
a guy who can help me adapt the throttle<BR>>body/intake plenum to fit. Hell,
he's made a few 16v turbo kits in his<BR>>backyard; this should be easy!
Well, lemme know. Peace...<BR>>--<BR>>Scott F. Williams<BR>>NJ Scirocco
