<html><HTML> Toby, <BR> <BLOCKQUOTE TYPE=CITE>First, is it *really* a Type III engine (T3) or a Type IV engine (T4)? You say you got it out of a 411 which is a Type IV. It makes a difference!</BLOCKQUOTE> Well, I assumed (doh!) that it was a type 3 based on the engine serial number and the serial number list found on <A HREF="http://www.vwtype3.org/info-serial-numbers";>http://www.vwtype3.org/info-serial-numbers</A> <P>This engines serial number is U0210477. Based on the list, my guess is that it falls between 12/'86 and 7/'69. Am I right? <BR> <BLOCKQUOTE TYPE=CITE>The T3 case (sans fan shroud and cooling tin) fit in a Type I, though the heat exchangers are different. Hell, with enough money anything will fit (which is what is keeping me from putting a gas turbine engine in MY baby >:)</BLOCKQUOTE> Ok, good, thanks. Yea, that <I>money</I> thing... :) <BLOCKQUOTE TYPE=CITE>Though it does take a little work a T4 engine will fit in a T1 or a T3.</BLOCKQUOTE> Ok. Noted. <BLOCKQUOTE TYPE=CITE>What would I do with the engine and no chassis? Sell the engine or, like in the case of the '65 I currently have, fix it back up as a show piece. Or find an engineless body for it...</BLOCKQUOTE> Ok, thanks for the options <P>Paul Ward <BR>psward@richnet.net <BR>There's a VW in my future, I can <I>feel</I> it! <BR> </HTML> </html>
