I think the 912 and 356 engines were essentially alike. One major difference 
with a VW engine was that the Porsche engine case was in 3 parts instead 
of 2.

Plus the fact that anything Porsche will cost you MUCH more than an 
equivalent VW part. There is an informative chapter on this in the Bill Fisher 
book.

I believe the last year of the 912 was actually called the 912E and used the 
type 4 VW engine. Just like the 914, I'm sure that Porsche folks would prefer 
to disown it.
