MisterHolaMan Torque Junkie Points 62 Location Midwest, United States Car none 12 July 2009 #1 Does anybody know how similar the vk45 block is to the vk56? I've read in some places they're the same, so I could use the vk56 internals with the 45's vvt system, is that even possible?

If you view the VK56DE as a stroked version of the VK45 you won't go far wrong. AFAIK though similar the actual block size is different though with the VK56 having a higher deck height.
