Re: [T3] 1.9 l Porsche in a Square

[Heather Ann Riggs <type3addict@yahoo.com>]

Well, 
I also have scored a porsche motor...well '81 vanagon,
but it's basically the same long block...there would
be a problem if you wanted to put it into a bug, but
in  atype 3 the engine is already pancake style...so
you can use stock intake (if it's F.I.)other wise
there might be a little adjustment with carbs &
manifolds....but you can use stock type 4
exhaust...(specific to your heads) Here are a few
really great websites..

Type 4 secrets revealed - great web site!!!
http://www.tunacan.net/t4/ 

Type 4.org
http://www.type4.org/

This has alot of info...go to  the Type 4rum
http://shoptalkforums.com/ 

There are certain things that need to be
changed....like the motor mounts, which can be
fabricated.... the tranny bolts right up...if it's
manual...if it's AT you need the type 4 torque
converter...but i am sure you will find enough
information in these pages...

good luck,

P.S. i will soon be converting my Fastback over...and
hopefully I will FABRICATE a mount so i won't have to
cut up my fasty!!
