 |
|
I currentley have a 73 bug with a 1500 single port engine.
The engine is on its way out 
I was wondering would a Type 25 lawn mower 2.0L engine from a 1982 transporter bolt straight to my gear box OR would a type 4 engine.
Many thanks for help. |

Check out Ian Ambrose's posts on here or on VZi. He's running T25 watercooled in his bug and he knows his stuff. Nice bloke too
oops you said air cooled, you will have to tinker with the clutch i believe

*embarrassed smiley" Just re-read your post again. 15 hundred lump in my bug (daily) was the best a/c motor going. He ripped. Mild port, stock carb & exhaust. Beat the pants of my stock 16.
What's actually up with your motor?
I ported my single port & it deffo runs better than the stock 16 that I now have in the back
Yeah my air cooled is my daily 
Are you actually a newbee in the "scene"?
Be honest cos we were all on here at some point.
If you are I'd recommend joining a local club or looking/posting on
