Glad to see you will have an awesome Type 3!
I can tell this Type IV stuff is catching on here in the US. In fact VW
Trends and Bug Me Video has just completed a weekend of video and photos of
the Type IV engine.
Bug Me Video will be making an instructional video on the tear down and
Build up of a Type IV engine. I will be doing a series of articles for VW
Trends concerning the Type IV engines.
We will even have a gathering of Type IV conversion enthusiast at a
Southeastern USA show at Rockingham Dragway in NC this next Oct.
We have even started our own online club(which I haven't had time to
work on lately) www.sevwc.com/type4.htm

driving the best beast on the road. Everyone who comes into the shop thinks
this bad @%% conversion is da bomb! "Dude, he's got a what?!? in there?
2.3 what?!?! and sway bars?!? That's gonna rock!" is commonly heard by the
guys doing the work. I've already gotten another customer bit by the bug.
He just bought a 914 engine for his beetle. And the shop owner keeps
showing my beast off to everyone.

bit to make it fit for now. For now. I will change it. Then I will track
someone down with a welder and drop the drive line 1/2" or less. That close,
I tell ya. Any San Jose fellas want to check it out and help me with the
welding? email me at:

Anyone care to enlighten me?
