T3: Re: 1776 or 1904cc motor in fastback???


I have been told (when I was building a motor for my Notchback) that there isnt
enough cooling available for a type III to build reliably over 1835.

But then again (chime in anytime toby!) another listee has a 2 liter moter in
his square and raves about the result, so Im of the opinion that it is personal
preference.  As with any beefed motor, the quality of the construction and
materials will be a large determining factor in your engine's lifespan.  I ran a
1914 in a beetle for several years with no problems wqhatsoever, except a leaky
weber carbie.  Im of the opinion that if you build it right, you can have
whatever you want.
