well I picked up my '65 squareback today, its only for parts ( came with my very restorable '63)
as I was hauling it home, I got to thinking. I'm planning on putting a porsche 914 engine in it, but have been tossing around ideas for other interesting powerplants.
heres a couple
Subaru power, I understand that subaru makes a liquid cooled flat four that will fit most aircooled VW platforms, they apparently put out quite a bit of power too. coupled to a 901 or 915 tranny would make for a hot combo.
VW H20, I was thinking a 1.8 from a earlier Golf GTI, jetta or sirroco might make for a reliable motor with plenty of pep, plus there's plenty of performance mods that a guy could do if he wanted.
Mazda Rotary, light weight and plenty of power, I don't know much about these engines but I understand that it is possible to do.
What else is there? Id be interested to hear.
I want to stick with German power, so the subaru and mazda Ideas arent going to happen, But I'm interested in hearing what options are out there
