Dude! Epic! Fair shout for custom making everything! There's getting mods done, then there's making mods!

Good luck with the Caddy - what a beast when you get it done!

Will you not need a bigger intercooler for that sort of power?

thanks guys for the replys , i just have a go ,regards intercooler it suports 450bhp , ive run/boosted the engine up to 27psi ,lol before the crank let go , and found out why , it was the dam engine sump ,, as i used a mk3 vr6 sump bolted on to the mk4 engine and i wasnt aware the oilpickuppipe was basicly flat to bottom which caused oil starvation grrr , so ill be useing the alloy one this time , (ill just try and have to watch out for speed humps ,,
might get a bit of progress 2moz , and ill had a few pics,,,

had a spare hour to day so thought id prep the head for the low compression spacer and gasket instail first
split the new gasket as i dont need the middle shim

tin of copper sealer

then use copper head sealer on the block

fit the botom layer

then compression spacer

then top part of gasket

then fit the head and torque the head in the correct order

then get some bars to make sure the varible cam pulleys are tight lol and double checking the timing as well

one engine ready for boost ,,

whilst the engines out, are you painting the engine bay?

don't think i've missed this, but have you decided on a colour scheme in general yet?

this is a sick project! I love the fact you putting a completely unique engine in a caddy. Here in holland you see golfs/caddys with g60 engines or 20vt and sometimes a vr6. But never seen this.

Real eager to see this result. Should be awesome

well done
