RE: 044 magnums

[typ3lvr@gate.net]

Thanks for the input everyone.  Here is a little more 
detail on what I was going to do to the engine.

New case  (mine's is a re-worked original FI case and seen 
better days.)
Counterweighted crank (69mm, stock) (already own)
Engle 110 cam
lightweight lifters  (not sure if these are necessary, but 
thought "why not?" since I'm already inside the case)
stock rods (already own)
90.5mm cylinders/pistons (already own)
Total seal rings
chromoly pushrods
chromoly head studs
lightweight flywheel  (already own)
Solid rocker arms
Stock 1.1:1 rockers (will upgrade to 1.25 rockers later)
30mm oil pump (already own. very tight fit)
Weber 34ICT's  (already own but want to get Weber or 
Dell'Orto 40's)
Bugpack headers & single quietpack exhaust (already own)

And hopefully the 044 Magnum heads

The car is not going to be a daily driver  (that's what the 
GTI is for) but it will be a weekend car.  And taken on the 
occasional car show trips.  I also want the car to be quick.

Also, has anyone put on a full-flow kit using a 30mm oil 
pump?  As it stands with a stock pump cover, it hits the 
fan shroud.  I can't see putting on a full-flow pump 
cover.  Even with some trimming on the fan shroud, i think 
that would really be pushing it.
