Subject: [T3] Some T4 engine questions.....


I have an opportunity to pick up a Type 4 engine for a pretty cheap.  It is
just a long block.  Supposedly from a 914.  Supposedly 1.8L.  OK my
questions...

1. Anything specially about the engine if it is from a 914, rather then a
Type4 VW?  Different heads/valves/cam?

2.  Engine number is EC041274.  IS this right for a 1.8L 914 engine?

3.  It comes with a new cam and lifter.  Numbers on cam are EP93 on a land
between a couple of the lobes and "replaces 021 188 1110" on the bolt on cam
gear.  Stock cam or performance cam?

4.  Is this a good candidate for a Type 4 conversion for one of my Type 3s?

Also I have a set of pistons and cylinders that have this number on them.
VW311.198.069F/87/JA.  Are these just aftermarket slip-in 87mm P&C?  I was
surprised about the 311 part number.

BTW, I will have all of these parts for sale at the MVVC show in Ypsilanti
tomorrow.  I am swapping them for a friend and of course I have first dibs
on them. <G>

Thanks.
