Has anyone tried roller lifters in a type 4, or any flat motor?

To many the quest of taking something that many consider nothing, and making it into something thats very potent makes sense. They don't care how much it costs, how long it takes, because they'll have fun with it the whole time.
Its called "Hot Rodding" and the numbers of those who still appreciate it from a raw level are fewer and further between every year. Look at the guys taking 36HP VW based engines to Bonneville, and setting Land Speed Records with them. Sure, they could put a Suby in that car and go a hell of a lot faster, and do it a hell of a lot cheaper, but thats something that anybody can do. I work with modern Porsche engines everyday, I appreciate the opportunity to build something thats based from a near 50 year old design, that makes more HP per cylinder than the modern engine. Sure, its a pain in the ass to modify everything to make it work, and having to start from scratch, but thats why I started this company, in the first place. |
