Engine Block - V8 OHV

[Wolfsbane]

Can someone help me please. I am trying to build a new engine for my project. The original engine block I removed is labelled 'V8 OHV' and I am trying to replace it with a new build supercharged V8 twin carb. The new block I purchased is called 'Engine Block (V8 OHV)' but when I try to build the new engine it tells me I do not have the required parts. Is there a problem with the labelling that the engine stand does not recognise the block or am I doing something wrong (which is probably the case :) Grateful for any help.

There is an option on the engine stand called "Create new engine" That is the option you choose when you are swapping engines. Also check the vehicle swap options under the engine tab to be sure the supercharged engine can be fitted.

Thanks Metalhead I have done both. The create new engine does not recognise the block so I suspect that it is something to do with the new block being labelled as 'Engine Block...' rather than just 'V8 OHV. The vehicle is the Delray Custom.

I have checked my game and i have no problem creating the engine that you are talking about. All engine blocks in the game start with the name engine block. Are you 100% sure that you have bought the right engine block for the engine you are trying to create.

Try verifying your game files just in case something has become corrupted.

Just to make sure... are you trying to put the new engine block directly into the car, or are you trying to build the new engine on the engine stand?

If you're using the engine stand, I'm not sure what the problem is. The V8 2carb OHV Supercharged does indeed start off from a V8 OHV Engine Block, so that should work fine.

If you're trying to do it directly in the car, it won't work because the original engine had a V8 OHV F Engine Block (notice the extra F), and when you're trying to put an engine block in a vehicle it only takes a part for the engine that it already had originally. You have to at least *start* the V8 2carb OHV Supercharged on the stand (even just the block), and then lift the block into the vehicle using the Engine Crane.

Thanks Capt.Carrot. It is working fine, the only thing corrupted is my brain. I had not selected the mount parts option. Doh!

Thank you. Problem solved.

D'oh! Glad you resolved the issue, happy building!
