Can't compare too well as it's a different beast (water-cooled American eight-cylinder engine vs. air-cooled VW four-banger). As per my Porsche comment I don't want to string up oil lines that far. It would also violate my "simple and common" goal as installing a grill is too much work (well, and those long, expensive oil lines). Thanks for the thoughts, though, and keep thinking! :) Toby Erkson air_cooled_nut@pobox.com <-- Please use this address for email '72 VW Squareback 1.6L bored and stroked to 2.0L, Berg five-speed '75 Porsche 914 1.8L, ORPCA member Portland, Oregon, http://www.geocities.com/MotorCity/8501/ >-----Original Message----- >Several years back a friend built a T3 truck with an Olds 455 in the >back end.
