Sure you don't want to go type IV Andrew - you seemed so passionate on shoptalkforums about your support for the 'big block' of vw engines??

I think Andrew has more sence than to put a water pumper in a Towdster!!! Keeping it aircooled is the only way to go!!!

What 10 kg heavier is a hassle, are you whinging about the weight of a EG33 in the back of your bus. Whats the problem, you will be spending more on
the price of a new aluminium type 1 case which is heavier than a type 4 case than the price of a complete running type 4.
This is my Volkswagen, there are many like it, but this one is mine. Without me my Volkswagen is useless, without my Volkswagen, I am useless.

You might save a $1000 on the price of the case with a T4 but then it costs you $ 2000 for heads as apposed to $ 1000 for Type 1 heads so the cost is
not that much different i spose but then youve got to cool the T4 which is another $1000plus as aposed to T1 again that you can use stock cooling plus
an external cooler which you would need to run on a big T4 anyway so in short i have always prefered my old type 1 even though i did have a good run
with the type 4 previosley it is NOW DEFINETLEY T1 ALL THE WAY and in regards to weight i think it would be more like 20kg once dressed.
Finally the EG33 in the Bus is i know going to weigh approx 50kg heavier than the T4 BUT it has buckets of torque, 200rwhp stock and all the other
nicities in Cruise control , climate control and a/c etc and at $5500 a dam site cheaper than what i could build a T4 with that hp.

T1 has better ground clearance also.
Don't get me wrong I am never going back to Air Cooled in my buggy as the 2.5L Turbo engines is just so nice and clean and I can live with teh 30mm
of ground clearance I lost :>

The new Aluminium T1cases are about the same weight as a T4 case.
