What do you want to do? How fast do you want to go? Do you want to be reliable? How much do you want to spend?
Once you know this, then you know what direction you can take.

What porsche engine are you talking about Super 90 out of a 356 or a 411. Finding a super 90 is almost impossible rebuilding one costs a fortune,
and then you have to get your car modified to accept one. you would be better off installing a VW 1916 or 1835 these would give the same and better
performance! and bolt straight in.

Forget it....It cost too much no matter what Porsche engine your talking about, it weighs too much if its any one of the boxer six's, and they don't
fit, without MAJOR surgery to your car....
And even if you somehow got around all those problems, it would handle like a pig!
Just don't go there...
If you wnat to stay aircooled, the look to a good hotrod T1 based engine hopup....Loads cheaper, EXR to fit, 'legal' and can be done by just about
any competent VW workshop...within reason! :thumb

I can not understand the attraction of the porsche motor, apart from the ability to say
" I have got a porsche motor in that"
what are you going to get: a sore hip ocket and a loss of reliability?
The beauty of the volks moto is its simplicity, and the reliability that comes with that simplicity.
If you want complex, get a porsche, a lover or two and a second job.
Poor man's porsche my arse: smart man's porsche.

No.....Just lots of hot rodded vw's....Aussie VDubs have been getting modded for ever...
I remember back when I was a kid (early 80's), cruisin down the road in my dads 911 and the bright yellow bug pulls up along side...My dad looks over
and gives the guy a nod, the guy in the bug, gives a smile, the lights change and BANG!....the first time i had every seen a car do a wheel stand! And
on the street no less!
My dad always owned VW's and Porsches....He knew, what was what.....That bug gave us real good run, it was only when we got into 4th gear that we
managed to get past that bug....Fuck it was fast!...And it was VW powered!
It changed my life!

engine' conversation when I drive my Oval

Get people all the time saying we should have put a Porsche motor in the bus instead of the Suby motor. Then they say they knew one once with one in
it and it blew away V8's etc.. It does get tiring. It is always a VW they seem years ago.
