I am doing a long-term rebuild on m 914 after the bus gets running....
what I was thinking was aircooled options--the type4 and the 911.... but somebody who owns a shop ( and a buddy of mine) recommended the VR6--it's a VW engine..... I'm seriosuly thinking about the VR6 too.... |

If you are afraid of chain driven cams you should note the VR6 cam's are also chain driven. The tensioners typically last about 100K or so. I had to replace the one on my GTi at about 115K since they were whining pretty bad. So if you pull one of those motors out of the junk yard you should at least plan on replacing them while the engine is out. It was hard enough getting at them in the GTi let alone in a 914!

If you want to go the watercooled "family" route if you use the 1.8T you can use the passat 5sp tranny FWD version create some mounts and some cable linkages possibly the boxster trans is very close to the passat transmissions are Audi derived
