Has anyone ever heard of the ludicrous idea of putting a VW type I engine in a 914?
I have been pondering about this for years and never saw anything about it, I think it would cheap cost effective way to get HP w/o sacrificing weight of a v8/wrx motor. I am torn 8k for v8/wrx/or a six, I want 200 hp but i dont want to tear the car up to do and i dont want to spoil the handling..... I am So torn......any ideas.....

There is probably a reason why so many type I owners are opting for type IV power.
And yeah, this question pops up every year. Still don't know anyone that has done it, but there has been a ton of other conversions. |
