Re: [T3] Engine setups



StiegH=> Is there any advantage to the upright shroud? 

Well, it's easier to find parts. Disadvantages? Poor cooling, loss of 
compartment space, a lot more noise, butt ugly, etc. 

This idea comes up here once in a while, and the consensus usually runs 
something on the order of, "If you like the upright engine better, get a 
Bus, so you'll have almost as much cargo space as a Squareback." 

=> How would a 914 engine work? 

If you really want to undertake the high cost and extensive 
reengineering of a rare and beautiful car that this would entail, you'd 
get a little more muscle, a lot more hassle, a butchered car, and, 
again, compromised cooling. 

=> Any suggestions on a good engine setup? 

The stock setup works terrific. Those German designers weren't fools, 
y'know. Try it, you might like it!
