Anyone build performance Type IV 4 engine?

[Haveacamper]

Hey guys, Just wondering whether anyone has ever built a performance Type IV engine - for their bus or other vehicle?

I'm looking to build up a 2258cc 96x78 based on a CJ engine case. I'm looking for advice of the best place to get the long block components from?

Anyone used Stateside Tuning for before? They seem to be the only place in UK who do performance Type IV engine component stuff that I can find. I've found a load of places over in the US, DRD Racing Heads and TypeIVStore, but shipping is a stinger!

I'm wanting the stuff to be shipped to Australia, but as i'm visiting back in UK enxt month I was thinking I may be able to box the stuff up with some personal effects that i'm having shipped out here anyway

You might have more luck asking over on the late bay. Seen a couple of threads on there with people building up some tasty type 4's

I know that no many people would have one running in their EB but thought I'd ask on my favourite forum first.

Thanks for for the heads up though

Thanks Mike, I'm already a member and reading as quick as i can hehe. most places that do alot of good work in terms of type 4 are based in US, Jake Raby, TypeIVStore, DRD Racing Heads etc. $ and shipping costs are just makign them even more expensive lol

I used Stateside Tuning for all the parts for my Type IV rebuild. Jim is seriously knowledgeable and had stock of some great quality parts.

I think LA Performance are a good Type 4 engine builders? Based around the Santa Pod area I think.

Thanks bmx! I remember him being pretty good last time I contacted him back in 2008 when I was thinking about rebuilding my last type 4. Went a different direction and went porsche.

Mike, I thought they used to do engine builds but Lee appears to have changed his website to germanlook. Co.uk and doesn't have anything engine related on there.

i think axlfoley used Jim (at least in part) for his 2110 build.
