Adz, My notch is a 69 Auto, with a 1835! Goes nice! The autos a pretty strong! Having said that, you probably shouldnt try and drag ppl!! hehe A guy
here in Melbourne has a 2l in an auto, and he has had no dramas whatsoever!!!!
But it does depend on how good condition the trans is in!!!!
Hope this has helped. N!

No Idea! Why not go for a 1914, or a 1835!? less stuffing around!!! Even a stock 1600 with duel carbs go ok!!!

Don't go down the 1835 path. Anyone that knows anything about 1835's will tell you you will be buying a whole lotta trouble.

type 4 = expensive!!! well cheaper in the long run since they last for ages, but its a high initial outlay if u modify it.
Stock type 4 is a good idea, lots of torque from real low. Buy a good used one and whack it in and u have a nice goer.
I recently did a 1600 SP rebuild, i got
-Good used case (std size)
-re used old crank and rods (both std std)
-all new bearings
-new p&c's
-new cam & lifters
-re used pushrods
-rebuilt heads
-re used rockers
-new pump
-full flow stuff
-German gasket set
-sandblasted and powdercoated warm up flaps and thermostat
plus i had to buy a torque wrench and some other things like solvent etc.
All up it cost me about $1700. I built it myself with help from "how to rebuild your aircooled VW engine" by tom wilson and some phone
calls to v-force.
its really satisfying to rebuild ur own engine. If u want performance go with a stock type 4 or similar, its a shame cos i remember someone had a
2056 for sale not long ago for about the same price as a 1600 rebuild

If you live up to that promise I reckon you will be the first male teenager ever to do it.
Im 32 and I still put the foot down to go faster than a kombi should. Just cos I can. Even on my own. Actually more when I'm alone so I dont get
told off so much by Mrs Amazer.

Adam,you should brace the chassis, as the huge increase in torque will give you problems in the long run. Plus the T4 is a little heavier than the T3
motor. At least run a rear mount to take up the extra weight of the engine.
If you can put in the frame horns, it will certainly help.
Cheers

I'd think that the rear mount (properly done) should be enough. Go for the type 4, you'll probably pick up a good runner from the wreckers
for $500 if you look around, just take a compression tester with you :thumb
