I came to the realization that 60% of my own are air cooled, despite being new to 914 ownership:

3 air-cooled, mid-mounted
(a 2.0L 4cyl, and two 1cyls - a Briggs & Stratton and a Honda.)

2 liquid-cooled, front-mounted
(both 4cyl and Korean)

4 IC engines, two air cooled (one 914, one lawnmower)

ALL operational (for once in my life)!

11-14 engines

8 operational

9 aircooled /4s & /6s

9 total:
5 cars, 2 bikes, 2 yard tools

8 working
in the process of restoring the old bike

5 are aircooled:
356, 914, 2-stroke Ducati, mower, string trimmer

I didn't count any engines with a displacement less than 10cc.

^counting my Nitro RC...I'm up to 12.


although, it did make me realize that only one of my multi-cylinder engines is in a working car (I didn't count my XT6 as working, even though the engine is working. it was in an accident and is awaiting body parts to be streetable again).

But yea, 4 subaru 4-cyls, one in a car
2 subaru 6-cyls, one in car
2 toyota 4-cyls, one in truck
weed-whacker
lawn mower
weed-whacker-powered R/C boat
nitro car

since I can't vote "0" for air cooled I choose all of them as air cooled (indirectly.) I guess in the end ALL car engines are air cooled one way or the other.
5 engines.
1 volvo
1 subaru
1 16V VW
1 powerstroke
1 351 ford
3 of them run. The subaru needs an EFI harness to run, the ford is on the shelf.

I've got 12 not counting any R/C plane engines. Only 2 of the 12 are water cooled. I'm going to electric planes anyhow. They rock. No nasty castor oil all over. The neighbors like me much better now too.

31+ not real sure how many VW engines I have in storage. As for " operational " do you mean can run without work or do you mean are in a car and driveable ?? Many of mine were perfectly running when pulled but are sitting in storage.

4.fiberjet dunebuggy with a complete rear body changed to have a trunk lid and rear tailights from a fiero. It's supposed to get a 901 and a t4 but I may stick with just a cammed t1. I started to put a suby in it but the radiator doesn't seem to work out for my idea of a right look for a buggy, I may go with a flat t1 or the t4
1970 500 caddy motor and tranny, 96 lt1 vette motor, tranny ecu all the accessories, ex manifolds, cat converters everything but the maf it has 3 miles on it, the car fell off of a transport, I got it for the daytona spider project, a 02 wrx motor and tranny, with 5k miles on it, it's the newest of many subie motors I have, a 97 1 ton vortec 5.7 bored 30 with a better cam with total seal rings built and never used on a stand by the local race shop it came out of a 97 1 ton truck that is setting in the back yard, I may just put the caddy in it for a new tow truck, the 350 sbc out of my wifes 69 camaro I sold in the 90's,a 3.8 low mileage buick motor for one of my fieros, 70 model honda minitrail and my 96 sportster 1200, hemi design heads with roller rockers and cams, coated combustion chambers, piston tops, exhaust ports.

7. 04 subaru sti, my youngest son's street driven sti we keep upgrading trying to get in the high 11's, it's really not a drag car. It's normally at his house except for it's upgrades

I probably missed something

Edit: I can't believe I forgot the third car I bought in college. My 58/64 vw sedan I made into a pickup in 68. it has a 67 1500 bus motor with a hyd isky cam and a rochester two barrel carb with a header and ac. I want to do a mid engine na suby with 914 style control arms on a rear redesigned pan. The tonneau cover will work great to cover the motor. The length of the motor tranny is a question. I think it will protrude into the torsion assy. area. The back of the cab is in front of the insp cover for the shifter ujoint. If it's too long a 3.8 buick fwd would be the next choice. I am not familiar with the fwd vw configs but that is also a idea. The ac condenser is in the spare tire well right now.

Thanks Charlie, I feel much better about myself
