No, I think I will go for the CB case again. They have several on stock without any head stud pattern.
The amount of machining scares me. JPM is working on a stock mag case with alumec plates for his own engine.
Fredde is going to do one more oxy case for me (86x101.6), I think that with his expertis of doing the convert from water to air you will have a superior case if you go oxy. Remember that it's OEM VW and not cheep latino...
