I am exploring the idea of building my own big displacement Type IV motor but there doesn't seem to be any books available on this subject. I have Bill Fisher's book, "How to Hot Rod Volkswagen Engines", but it is pretty poor, IMO. Anyone know of any other books on this subject?

QUOTE(Brad Roberts @ Sep 2 2003, 04:17 AM) The racers really balk at the 14k price tag for the 1.8 FP engines....LOL (but some of them pay) That sounds about right, I've been figuring on $15K ready to go, but it really costs more than that the first time. Add in oil tank and lines, instrumentation, modified gearbox, carb mods, etc. and $20K won't cover it. |
