And, as you've noticed, type 3s are done differently. Each scheme works equally well, but you have to pay attention, which you're clearly doing. > now looks to me the did this different on the type 3 by useing the rubber > boot from fan housing to body they draw the air fro another location right I > want to get this right as my plan is to swap out the stock type 3 motor for > a 2.0 type IV as I have been running type IV motors in vw stuff since 1991 > so i have lots of parts here to do this As long as you fabricate something to duct cool air into the engine you'll be fine. Of course, on each of the engine types it is important to make sure that all the cooling tin is there, so that all the cooling air gets forced all the way thru the engine, rather than leaking out partway thru. There are others who have done this conversion, and I don't know what they ended up using. I understand that the original type 3 intake bellows won't work with the type 4 engine. -- ******************************* Jim Adney, jadney@vwtype3.org Madison, Wisconsin, USA ******************************* ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ List info at http://www.vwtype3.org/list | mailto:gregm@vwtype3.org ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
