Re: [T3] Turbos or superchargers on the Type 3 engine


<x-charset iso-8859-1>Everett:

Thanks for the head's up.   I actually know Competition Engineering quite
well.    They put a new 1600cc dual port in my '69 Westy when it blew up in
Phoenix.   I just gave them a call out of curiosity to find out what the
cost of building that motor was.    They estimate about $9500 when all was
said and done (motor only).   Pretty steep if you ask me, but I'm sure it
puts a grin on the owner's face!    Big type 4 looks more attractive in
light of t3 turbo expense.
