Stroke

What is the largest stroke that can fit into the case with machining within reason?

The stroke that you can run is the same as a type one case. The distance from the crank and cam is the same. Although the case is a little wider the "roof" of the case appears to be about the same as a type case.

I am running an 86mm crank in mine and I am sure you could squeeze an 88mm or 90mm in. But from what I understand things get pretty tight for those that have done it in a type one case, so I assume it would be the same for these.

the Water boxer case has a higher roof to the case and is also wider, the problem you incounter is the cam, lots of clearence needed to the cam if you use stock VW big end size.but 90mm is defiently posable

try looking on keith black's site... cannot remmeber the URL.
96mm pistons are from either a chevy or oldsmobile V8 I think.

Aircooled.net is going to have 96mm enhanced combustion pistons. With a set of those in a C in height config., you could have a nice narrow motor. Marty has 5.7 rods, 86 crank, and it is stock width (with C squishies!).

Stock width with or without water jackets?
2489 cc essentially without machine work (water cooled)

John, if you're listening...;-)
