RE: Killer engines - a real thread

How about forgetting the short block, and just going with the crank and
connecting rods, with new pistons, into your existing block? Would the
crank fit the journals? Would the cylinder skirts and conn rods get
intimate?

	I looked at the Eurovan engine once.   It looked similar, but I
wondered 
	if there were differences.    The head looked different.   It
had evenly

head, but 
	it certainly is different form the 10V head.
