displacement wise 90.5mm(1776cc w/ stock stroke) bore is about as big as u want to go on a type3(cooling issues). if you wanted to go bigger build a stroker motor(90.5 x 78 is a common one makes 2007cc). i know there is a 68 squareback in the new issue of Hot VWs that is running a 1915cc but i would venture to say that the owner doesn't drive it much(plus he has a HUGE oil cooler on the thing) if you wanted to go carbs now would be the time to make the swap. if u stick with EFI i would consult the type3 owners guide on the vwtype3.org website. and keep the compression ratio as close as stock as possible --- SXTY8SQBAK@aol.com wrote: > OK first things first.
