Speed crazed Audi owner

[Peter Berrevoets]

Honda had a four cylinder race bike with oval pistons that gave the
displacement equivalent of their six cylinder bike in an engine that grew
thicker front to back. Could make the 5 cylinder with oval pistons and only
a wider head...

Waxing esoteric...

Now here's the deal, guys - what we REALLY need is our good old 5 cyl Audi
engine with about five liters (300 cu in) displacement. Let's stop this
fooling around with little engines all tricked up to make horsepower.

OK, how do we get there? Obviously, new block, head, crank, cam. The new
block is going to be a tad longer than the 2.3 liter block simply because
the five holes are a LOT bigger. We can still make it fit into the car by
moving the water pump and/or some other stuff on the front of the engine.
Pistons and rods can be off the shelf from someone else (60 inches per jug,
so that means if it were a V-8, it would be 480 cubic inches total, and
Cadillac made a 472 inch eng----------snip------------------
