Hello folks,
This 1973 p914 marks my entry to the world of air cooled auto adventure. after a year search i found a well maintianed driver. i was an air craft mechanic for 10 years and spent many of those years hunched over aircooled airplane engines. i have always wondered about the aircooled car world. the p914 was a perfect choice for me, mid engine, aircooled and it can fit my 6'2" frame. So here is where the 13 engines come from. after 500 miles on my new purchase i find non ferrous metal in the screen. most pieces were 1/8' wide. after a search i found 13 engines at a very very good price. So my question is, What do i do with 13 engines? My ultimate goal is to build a spare engine from a collection of the best parts but what should i do with the rest?

I would buy a 1.7 off of you if it ran and was fairly cheap. Trouble would be shipping it to Florida. Nice car dude!

There is a market for type 4 cores. Beetle guys do conversions and ghia/teener/bus guys build them into big 4s.
The Cases and 1.8 cylinders (good for boring to 96mm) have value as parts. If it were me I would sell them all as cores rather then tear them all down. If the fi stuff was intact you might separate that because guys are looking for NLA fi parts. Good luck and hope your pickup truck is in good shape! |
