Hi, been drawn to the M119 mercedes engine. Not yet been able to find an engine width yet, might have to contact an e bay seller to find out. Audi
engine looks good, is that an FSI version? If so aftermarket ecu options are an issue.
As my car will be in the 1-1.1 tonne range, 300hp will not go quite as far as a 500kg car!
Thanks
Darren

In what form factor. Quite a lot of transaxles (for mid engine rwd) but I'm not aware of any 'normal' rwd ones just yet. You
wouldn't want a monster heavy v up front in a normal layout though...

If you're still interested in the 1UZ-FE, these may be useful to you:

It's a good lump, you should be able to get 4-500hp out of it with twin turbo's, if it's an early version you wouldn't even
need to crack the head. They can cope with stupid power (up to 1000hp from memory) with a little modification, but tbh that's probably overkill
on a small and light car. They do sound nice though 
I've got one lying around my garage, if you want to know anything about them let me know. I was using it on a previous project which I have
given up on to build my Haynes. Funnily it actually fits in the Haynes chassis - just:

If disfunction is a function, then I must be some kind of genius.

ZF auto has a bolted on bell housing and appeared in many different cars so maybe in one guise, the RV8 does not have the same bolt pattern as Audi,
you can get adaptors to mate the Audi manual transaxle to RV8
