The 4.2L FSI is 520mm long isn't it? Thats pretty short, any idea how tall the engine is?

How did you do it? do you have to unbolt it from the sub frame and crane it forward a bit or something?

Ok so its like vtec and nissans Neo VVL? two sets of lobes, oil lines controlled by soilenoids to engage the other lobe etc. Any idea when the VVL will be introduced on the V8? Far out that would be nice. With good springs it could probably rev up to 9-10k with ease. I know a lot of the SR20VET guys (a nissan engine with VVL) just put better springs in and they can safely rev up to 9-10k with weaker internals.

Any idea how much a front cut with ecu etc of a 4.2L FSI would be or are they hard to get?
