Dear all,

I hope you are well.

I have finally finished the full engine rebuild for my 411 S4 !!

I've gone with the following for the rebuild

+.030" Flat top cast pistons 4.250"
Lunati Voodo High lift Cam
Edelbrock 2186 Performer intake
Edelbrock AVS 650cfm Electric choke carburettor
Custom S/S headers
Electric ignition
High flow aluminium water pump
Pertronix Flamethrower ignition coil
and a few more upgrades

All other parts on the engine are brand new - sparks, leads, alternator, gaskets, power steering pump etc...

Thanks !

Very interesting!

I have a few more questions:
-Which duration does the camshaft that you have used have?
-Roller camshaft or standard hydraulic lifters?
-Does these headers really clear the chassis rails? Who made them? Price?
-Cylinder heads are left standard?

Please report, maybe when the engine has run in, the fuel consumption.

Sorry for being so inquisitive..

Regards

Thomas

Morning H
Glad to see you haven't resorted to doing things by half !
Look forward to first time you fire it up.
Best
