There was a 1500 T3. What they told you at B&S is full of BS ... I wonder if you got ahold of a rookie answering the phone when you called. =) >What are my options with this motor? if i do make a 1600/ 1641 out of it can >the single side draft work still? Or is it limited? >Does the case require machine work to get the larger P/C installed? I Am Not An Expert, but I'd imagine that the biggest limiting factor is going to be the manifold and singleport heads. Heck, the T1 1600 singleport was fed with a 30PICT carb. =) The 85.5 barrels will fit the heads&case without any machining ... and honestly, unless you're worried about absolute 100% authenticity, I'd say just go for the 85.5 bore. The only people who'll know the difference are 1) you, 2) anyone you tell, and 3) whoever tears down the engine next. >Or can i hone the cylinders and use a over sized ring set? I think you'll have an easier time finding 83mm P/Cs than oversized rings. =) ------------------------------------------------ To unsubscribe, E-mail to: <type3-off@vwtype3.org> For more help, see http://vwtype3.org/list/
