So with all the engine conversions being done on 914's for cheap hp, how come we don't see more type 1 conversions? Still air cooled, so there's no radiator and no cutting up the body. I'm sure there must be some downfalls, but what are they?

You can buy a brand new 2332 engine kit capable of ~180-200 hp for $2400...

Thanks Brett, it still looks like no one has chimed in yet having one in a 914. Rico Suave looks like he had to put alot of coolers on his to keep it cool, but sounds like he might have had a monster turbo motor?

Just seems like a good alternative to a subaru swap, sounds simple and just as expensive if not cheaper...

btw, I'm not trying to do one myself. Just as a owner of a 2110 type 1 in my sandrail (cost me $1300 for 165hp), seems like they would be a good fit for a 914 too... (for a 150-200hp option). Also btw I do have a 96 fin oil cooler on mine, but the whole kit cost less than $100.

My buddy has a close to stock type one in a 911 running with no issues. He's originally from the Buffalo, NY and runs down to see relatives 2-3 times a year, 225miles (363kms) one way.

Where's the pic of the T1 backwards in a 914 making it a tail-dragger?

If you like to stimulate the Chinese economy, I can't think of any better way to do it than building a Type 1 these days. Its cheap and you will get exactly what you pay for.

I was wondering when Jake would chime in. He must be tired because you got off lightly. My first VW experience was via a Karamnn Ghia. I used to have to listen to Jake pop and then leave with his std departure. Too bad I'll never own a T1 again. It really used to get me. 6 years later I got into 914's and have 2. I've driven my Ghia <300 miles in 3 years. Would I put a T1 in a 914. Only if I could also have a Harley with a Honda 50cc power plant. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/shades.gif)

I cut my teeth on T1 engines and until about 3 years ago we had built more T1 engines in the history of the company than TIV engines.

Too bad its all junk these days.

My 2007cc in my bus (this is the 4th car it's been in) is 21years old and I beat on it every summer. They can be built right.

At least it would be faster and bolts wouldn't fall off. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

IIRC a '71T, but I know for sure it has a 901 trans.

BTW I've put a 901 in my bug, but it's getting a type 4.
