[V8] body parts anyone?

You can, but you have to have a "moto-lab" that knows what they're doing.
 I have corresponded with several V8Q owners from the former Soviet Union
that have done their engines at some "moto-labs" in Moscow.

These guys got internal components through Mahle in Germany, including
oversize pistons in one case.  Rings are available from US suppliers, not
OEM German, but they seem to work.

There are two types of tragedies in life. One is not getting what you
want, the other is getting it.
