VW Enginge to Porsche Engine

[justdubbin]

Porsche engine in a bug .... easy ..... just as long as you are talking about the 4 pot and not the 6 pot !!!!!!!
It's basically the same as a type IV engine.

The type 4 and the 356 engine will fit into the beetle with little work.

You might want to use the "search" function at the top of the screen and type in "type 4 conversion" or something similar. Check out www.massivetype4.com for the upright conversion cooling kit.

what exactly are you trying to accomplish by putting in a porsche engine?
if you are worrying about changing the intake, dont do a type 4 conversion. youll have to change alot.

id stick with the type 1 considering alot of 356 owners put type 1 engines into theres, parts are readily available and cheaper. if i were you id stick with your engine, but im not.
