first of all, stay away from a g60. too much money and not enough power. even if you do have the engine. sell the timebomb to someone else. at the very least, sell the charger and go for the turbo upgrade. to answer your question, no, you wont really need a special block. you can just get a low compression 8v block from one of a zillion cars and use that. it wont be the weakest link anyway. ben _____________ List Sponsor: http://www.netsville.com To remove yourself from this list, send mail to [email protected] with 'unsubscribe a2_16v' in the body of your message See us on the web at http://www.a2-16v.com Visit the 16V Homepage at http://www.gti16v.org
