<x-charset iso-8859-1>Hello, Check out the 'The Type 4rum' archives at http://shoptalkforums.com/ Quite a few people there have done this mod and have covered this in detail over the years. They'll give you the lowdown on which Flywheel you need, the necessary machining etc. Also how to machine the crank for the same stroke as the 2L version etc. Oh yeah, check out Tom's site too, he's the Type 4rum moderator, very comprehensive T4 engine site. http://tunacan.net/t4/ cheers, Dan '73 Fastback ---- -----Original Message----- From: Matthew_Russell@ziba.com [mailto:Matthew_Russell@ziba.com] Sent: Wednesday, September 04, 2002 6:51 PM Subject: [T3] type IV engine in a type III hey all, i just wanted to gather some input. i recently acquired an extra type IV engine that was originally in a 914, by the engine number i have found it to be a 1.7, early 70's (earlier than '74)...nothing special but it has potential (i hope). i was originally thinking that i would rebuild it and use it in my bus when the time comes....but there are a few things about this engine that i don't particularly like the idea of it being in my bus. first of all the dipstick is in the worst placement ever for a bus, as it is in the top... so, i was wondering about the potential to drop it into a type III. the only thing that i can see is the way that the cooling tin pulls in cool air from the bellows, if this was adapted to fit to the type IV it would work just peachy right? are there any other concerns i have missed? -matthias portland, oregon '66 type I '74 type II '67 type III fastback (* Worry is the darkroom in which negatives can develop. *) ------------------------------------------------ To unsubscribe, E-mail to: <type3-off@vwtype3.org> For more help, see http://vwtype3.org/list/ </x-charset>
