Howdy
yes it can be done, and it is not real hard.
My 73 fastie has a 2 type 4 motor in it with the auto. If it is a manual car I think you need a 215mm type 4 flywheel.
You have to modify the rear engine mounts on the square to suit the kombi engine support bar and shorten the type 4 engine mount bar.
and you have to change the electrics to suit the alternator.
then there is the bellows mount that the type4 motor does not have. we used the standard type3 one and modified it to suit the type4 engine.
But it is a great upgrade for the type 3, They should have had these motors from the factory.

You can use either 1.8 or 2 litre. The 1.8 uses a 66mm stoke crank and 93mm bore, a 2.0 uses a 71mm stroke and 94mm bore. The best thing to do is
get some 96mm pistons and cylinders, which will give you either 1911 with the 66mm or 2056 with the 71mm stroke add a good cam either a Web-cam or try
one of Richard Holzl's cams from Vforce or for the best get a RAT cam of Jake Raby at Aircooled Technology in the US, he will help you decide whats
best for your application. Using 1800 heads with its 41x34mm valves would be great on either size engine. You can use twin weber carbs, 40 IDF's
would be fine but you need to get the manifolds shortened, i have a set of CSP type 4 manifolds that i am going to use and these are shorter manifolds
so i can fit the carbs under the engine cover. A 1911 will give you around 100hp and a 2056 will give about 120hp. Either one will give you enough
reliable power for what you need. Visit http://tunacan.net/t4/tech/index.shtml for info as this site has an excellent link to a type4 to type3 conversion. Also
visit http://www.aircooledtechnology.com/ they have all that you need,
whichever way you go you will be happy. Hope this helps in your decision, cheers Damo.

have you checked the price of Type 4 stuff compared to Type 1 stuff as a matter of interest ???
It would be great with teh extra capacity and HP but i thinks stuff is dearer for Type 4
also the Type 4 engine is heavier i suspose there are pros n cons for both sounds good

You will be right with getting type 4 parts at a good price, i got 8 type 4 engines and i spent less than $1k, buying them, compare that to the price
of a new aluminium type 1 crankcase and a chinese forged crank at $1600 an you are off to a good start. So thats 8 aluminum crank cases and 8 german
forged cranks made by VW. A set of new type 4 heads, pistons and cylinders and a good cam which retails around $1600 and you are off to a good start.

Man I wish I could say the same over here...
Type 4 motors are a bit like gold in NZ, everyone wants one and they aren't that common. I groan everytime I see one for sale on this forum, the
prices are about half what people are asking over here.
Another case of bigger market more availablity, market forces at work I guess.
Out of interest, where do you get heads from. New ones from local dealers would use up the $1600 before I even went looking for other parts.
I've got a 1700 T4 I'm fitting to a 1302, with the hope of one day injecting it and adding a turbo...the dreams are free at least :P
Cheers
Jeremy

Jeremy, i paid $450 AUS each for 2 litre heads also, with your turbo project are you keeping the stand 90mm cylinders? As these are excellent to have
bored out to 90.5 then you could use a 90.5 B type1 piston with rebushed small ends to 22mm, the use of a smaller bore in turbo use is better as you
have more area in the head for sealing purposes. If you want to go bigger you will have to use LN Engineering nickies aluminium cylinders, and for
longevity too. I know that many people have used larger cast iron cylinders above stock ie 96 - 105mm but these don't last as long. If you are
keeping it a 1700 get your original heads rebuilt as these heads have an excellent flow rate for stock heads but replace the valves, guides, seats,
springs, retainers and rocker shaft studs to 8mm. What cooling system will you be running, i originally had a sharpbuilt 911 system which cost me $2k
AUS, i sold this and bought a DTM from Aircooled technology which landed here for $1100. It is a much better cooling system. If you need any help or
more info let us know, cheers Damo.

Thanks for the tips Damo.
I was going to keep it as stock at possible. I had thought about using the 90.5 T1 pistons the way you've described, and ideally I'd go for a new
cam (its a W code engine from the 411's / 914's) It seems like those Scandinavian fellows on the type 4rum have had good results with webcam 74's,
and Richard (V-force) mentioned he had a good option as well. Raby has stopped his cam sales for the moment, but he may start again. But I've also
heard of people do the absolute barest minimum to the engine(ie fit cylinder spacers to decompress it a bit) fit a turbo and have loads of fun!
For the moment its going in the car running twin Dellortos, Sharpbuilt cylinder covers and a 36 style doghouse shroud.
Good luck with the project JHP1, I've only done a little bit of work on mine but i like how they go together.
Cheers
Jeremy

Hey all, i managed to track down and obtain the infamous type 4 intake boot and bolt on air duct which the boot attaches too. Happy days, these two
parts are apparently like rocking horse s%&#. Damo.
