RE: Killer engines - a real thread

Plus don't we need to pay attention to things like cylinder bore
spacing, and what the ends of the crankshaft look like? Not to mention
what kind of pistons can be fitted to the conn rods. Plus, *I'm*
interested in the 7A or 3B motors <VBG>, less so for the MC ones. Would
the Eurovan crank and rods be happy at 7K rpm? Wandering minds
inquire...

	I guess I'm about to start calculations.   What is the bore and
stroke of 
	the Eurovan?   What is the deck height?  (I am guessing that the
deck

	Thanks.
