My buddy is about to junk his 1992 ford f150, and it has the 5.0L 302 EFI, motor that is in pretty good condition...everything else on the car, not so much. Engine needs a new water pump and thats it, easy fix. He said if i put the engine in the 914 or my vw bug i can have everything i want for free, ecu, radiator, etc. Will that motor fit or can i make it fit? Ive heard most v8's will, just want to make sure before i start doing anything. thanks
My plans are to put the v8 in the porsche and take the porsches motor and put that into the vw. Every car gets more power!!!!!! |

Also, a truck engine isn't what you want in a teener. Truck engines are optimized for torque, and your 901 box is a weak link in that regard. That's why the 302 Chevy is popular... higher RPM powerband, less torque than most V8s.
Sure, it will have more power than your Type IV, but it's not what I'd do. Free engines can end up costing a lot. |
