Hydraulic lifters in a type motor
Hi all,
Its bee a while since I have posted anything on here... but I have been lurking!
Whilst discussing ideas for another daily driver motor that I need to build the suggestion of using hydraulic lifters in a Type I came up.
I know that MOFOCO in the US sell a kit (but the shipping cost is crazy) - does anyone know of anyone else that makes a kit to suit the Type I case
(preferably with no machining)?
Is anyone else running Hydralic lifters in a Type I? Thoughts? Suggestions?
Cheers,
R
40hp, 6V and ...er... slowly making improvements
It's nice to be important, but it's more important to be nice!

You'll need a new case that uses the hydraulic lifters as they are the same as type 4 lifters in size, CB makes hydro cams and lifters for type 1
engines but you need the case as well.
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.
