Re: Porche 904 or 914 aircooled motor wanted.
if its more power you want, the beetle engine is capable of producing pretty good numbers.
Bear in mind with the T4 engine that you need a different cooling system and this adds a pretty penny onto the cost of the project

Re: Porche 904 or 914 aircooled motor wanted.
As Tony said, the type 4 motor will not fit as is.
So you will have to change the Cooling fan and plates.
OR you can get someone like TonyZ to build you a mother of all engines from a standard beetle block.
just have a look at this madness........ http://www.aircooledvwsa.co.za/viewtopi ... 23&t=14775
If you look at "American Outlaws" that Bug is just as fast as the "Farmtruck" which itself has run away from many a super sports car.

Re: Porche 904 or 914 aircooled motor wanted.
914 used the type 4 engine, but 904 used the 4 cam Furnman engine. If you find one at a decent price let me know[emoji6]

Re: Porche 904 or 914 aircooled motor wanted.
Korb - you need a budget and an idea of what you want and what car it is going into.
pm me if you want to go into details.
The one thing that I can tell you is that a fully spec street engine with nearly 200hp is going to set you back around 100K in todays money. 140hp is much cheaper. 90hp is a heck of a lot cheaper but each engine's price depends on exactly what you want.
Bear in mind that 90hp in a beetle will run away from a lot of cars out there. 120hp will push the new GTi if they got a bad start.
Power to weight ratio is where the beetle wins (and the low gearing) and the beetle is light
