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.....

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif) are you saying that your budget is 8k? Your target goal is 200hp? You dont want to "tear up the car" of modify the body if you can help it? there are two ways to go. A six, air cooled. (used) Or a big four kit that you build (for that budget) Rich |
