This is not necessary.... I am planing a type 4 conversion ( trying to save up for a big bore kit 2.5l ) I was in contact with European racing and they have manifolds for Weber DCNFs for the type 4 and they are low enough for the carbs to clear and still have the engine lid in place.... they sell the manifolds for $70 pair....... What I am wondering is if if there is a need to fabricate a mount above the transmission to help support some of the extra weight of the type 4 engine ? ( like type 4 Busses have) I haven't compared the weight of the type3 engine Vs. type 4 engine ( I can only compare from actually lifting them...... there does not seem to be all that much difference......) Also with this conversion I'll probably end up using the heater boxes from a type 4 car ( they are a lot lighter, they are actually just pre heaters..... no aluminum around the pipes.....)
