I am doing a long-term rebuild on m 914 after the bus gets running....
what I was thinking was aircooled options--the type4 and the 911.... but somebody who owns a shop ( and a buddy of mine) recommended the VR6--it's a VW engine..... I'm seriosuly thinking about the VR6 too.... |

Hey Britt Wwaaazzzzuuuupppp.
They problem with the VR6 is its size, and hieght. I think it was Meuller that tryed a long time ago, and I had tooken a serious look myself. It can be done, just more work then I was willing to do. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smash.gif) I have seen a VW Waserboxer Van that was converted to a regular VW 4 cyl (1.8) and they actually tillted the motor, and modified the pan and oil pickup tube, to reduce the hieght. Might be an option.... Later (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) |
