Greetings all

What parts scavenged from other Watercooled VW/Non-VW engines could be used in a VW Type1/Type4 engine?
If it's too low, you're too old :twisted:

Not much. Engine management systems perhaps. And inline fuel filters maybe...

Most parts from a watercooled 1900 can be used in a T1

its basically a bigger version of the T1, just watercooled. Cam specs are different, but you can swtich the two, rockers can be switched. Linbore the T1 case to the T5 main bearing size and the crank fits, heads can be made to fit, dizzy fits,
