Hey
I’ve got a type 4 engine with this no. W0052113 vw
What engine is this - 914 ? bus ?
What size?
I’ve located another one but I don't have the no. yet so if any body has a database on type 4 engine no. of all kinds (including air cooled vanagons).
I would be very thankful.

Should have all you need at http://tunacan.net/t4/

Reference:Crankcase will have the engine numbers.

"W" code 1.7L 80hp outta a 914 or 411 from 69-71. Probably doesn't have a windage tray. Good case

Thats the case I build all my big engines from.. even my 3 liter was built on an early "W" case for many, many reasons.

thanks guys
what woul it take to go 2.0L with this case?
and is it cost efectiv in comper to finding good used 2.0L?

...just drop in 2.0 rods and a 2.0 crank...no mods are needed to the crank..

I beleive the W case was the very early with no windage tray. Also has smaller pushrod tubes on the head side. Ever wonder why you always have extra O rings (smaller) left over after a rebuild??? The w case has no "slots" for the windage tray inside the case.
