Anyone have a 74 or 78 crank in their otherwise stock 1600 type 3? How is it if you have it? Today is the last day I'm driving my car before the winter & I figure what better to do than plan my next engine from the ground up? So far I'm figuring new case (Berg says do NOT use an align-bored case?), and pretty much standard everything else. KS pistons/cyls? What type of connecting rods? I would like to get a counterweighted crank, but I'm thinking 74 or 78 for just a touch more torque, even if it means half a life for the engine? Not like I'm using it as a daily driver anyway... I'd like to get a good 50-60K miles from my "new" engine before a rebuild. Any other good ideas? Full flow? ===== Aaron Clow - http://www.tiserves.com/VW/ '71 FI AT Square - On the Road '71 FI AT Fasty - Off the Road '71 AT Square - the Parts Bin __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
