While looking to build a VW engine for a future build I approached a local VW enthusiast
Only to be confronted with questions like
Size, Single or duel Port etc

I can assume size is a dependent on aircraft
But Ports????
What else is a criteria

Is there a conversion chart somewhere CC to HP

Also I read somewhere that parts need to be changed (conrods etc) as a Aero engine is under constant load
an Automotive isnt

What needs to be changes
