I had always assumed that the type 4 was also used in the 912. However it seems that they used a polo motor instead. It actually looks like a 6 cylinder less 2 cylinders.
Has anyone used one of these in a 914? Any more power to be gained? Advantages & disadvantages? Thanks DAvid |

The flat 8 is indeed a awesome engine better suited to the 914 than a 911 or 912.
A POLO 4 is fast enough for me and the weight behind the rear axle needs to be kept to a minimum on the SWB cars. Also if you contact Dean mention the 912 Registry thread to get in on the offer. Chris |
