ETA - I just deleted my response after I re-read it.

Those who know me will have an idea of what I put!!

Others may have recommendations for you about engine suppliers. I don't.

You looking for an Ultima engine or TiV?

We use not an old type American-block but an new modern
German ( sorry ) Audi RS6 ( 4.2 V8 Twin turbo ) with an
free motor-management system . ( KMS ( Dutch )see:
http://www.vankronenburg.nl/ .
It gives us a power between 550-600 Hp
The gearbox is also an Audi but not an 4 wheel-drive ,
it is an Audi A8 diesel gearbox ( prepared for more
power ) see our site .
