What is the difference petween a type 3 and a type 4 engine? I need to replace the 1.8 in my 75, and the first good longblock deal I found is for an 1835 type 3. Will this work with my transmission? I will be running Delortos on this engine.

Agreed. It'll bolt up to the trans (well, with longer studs and bolts), but the starter and clutch won't work, and from there it's ALL downhill. The Cap'n

Stick with the type 4 and be careful of whom you buy from. Search their name here or ask, all engine builders are not equal. You might consider having yours rebuilt or doing it yourself.

Okay, I admit my lack of knowledge and experience. I have learned from here and phone calls that type 3 is not the way to go. I have been told that a good upgrade/modification would be to switch to hydraulic heads. Any feedback?

No difference in heads. Rather than wasting your time looking for, and getting, bad advice, just ask us. Ask good questions, LISTEN to the collective wisdom of the list, and you'll be fine. The Cap'n

I'd say get your wallet out and put a flat six in there... You know you should..... And you're spending $ anyways...perfect timing. |

My mistake in wording i guess. I guess that I meant switching to the hydraulic cam and lifters? I am told that this eliminates the need for valve adjustments.

Valve adjustment is your last worry since its a sinch. You will spend all kinds of $$$$$ on this engine which will give you little performance. If you are starting from an empty engine bay, figure out what you want to spend and then look at all the options. Keep it under 300 HPs and low tork and then you will find something worth spending for. Jim Kelly got a fresh V8 with 300HP+ power for less than 1K which squeeled tires on every gear in a Chevelle or something similar. Subari is a great way to go or a Jake Raby Type4 engine rebuilt if you like the classic sound and look. There is no way to go cheap since it will cost in the end. The question is, what is the final product you really want? Take your time and get what you want. If the car is a good looking original then keep it that way since it is worth more the less you modify it. If this is the case, spend some good money on a built up T4 engine and have fun with it. A new Jake Raby engine will give you ALL the pleasure the car can give and keeps it original looking and running for a long time. It will hold a good dollar value in the end.

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/agree.gif) If you don't want it, what do you want for it. I'll take the bugger. Does it run? PM me. I can't believe I missed this one. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beer.gif)
