My goal for my plans for a 4.0L v8 is to have a motor that is much more
rounded then either of the early v8's (ie the first generation out of a
v8 quattro).  with the large stroke and smaller pistons the 4.0L would
have the torque of the larger motor with a higher redline and better
low-end boost.  The 4.2 can not be sleezed to fit anything bigger then
about a 82mm piston.  some one asked me what my planned use for this
motor was and it would be a daily drive but with the occasional run at
the track so it has to be a streetable turbo that is able to hit the
500-550 hp range wich is really tuff in the current set up for a car
that is in the 3100lb area runnin a 5-speed and limited to about 8 psi.
