I have a 460 crate engine in my MKIII and I love it. All the torque you can ask for and very dependable. It's right at 500 HP and is very predictable. You can easily get to the spark plugs. The car handles like it's on rails. I do have the IRS and anti-sway bars. I do not have power steering but I believe it would be nice for parking as the steering is a bit heavy. Fuel mileage is really pretty good until put your foot into it. This would be an issue with any other engine. Would I build it again? Absolutely!
