I've been watching some videos on Type 1 engine rebuilds. It appears there's an aftermarket option for all the Type 1 parts including new aluminum case. It seems 150hp
is attainable with a Type 1, while we're all happy with 125hp from a 2056cc Type 4.

So here are my questions:

- Does a 150hp Type 1 (with Al case) lack the longevity of a Type 4? Is there any reason to put a Type 4 in a bug or squareback to get more reliable power?

- Do most who do a conversion from Type 1 to Type 4 use a Type 1 transmission? Any modification required? Will a Type 4 mate up with an automatic in a VW squareback?

Thanks.
