Unless it is a 914 engine, it's a 1.8L which is an engine to avoid, mainly because parts for these are really expensive. There's little point in picking one up with the thought of converting it to a 2.0 because you'll spend more in the upgrade than a 2.0 engine would cost. There's nothing here that you can use in your type 3 without lots of work, and if you're willing to do all that work then you should find a 2.0 to make the work worthwhile. -- ******************************* Jim Adney, jadney@vwtype3.org Madison, Wisconsin, USA ******************************* ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ List info at http://www.vwtype3.org/list | mailto:gregm@vwtype3.org
