PM Jason Porter on this board. He had a hot rod bug with a Type 4 in it that hauled ass.

What I know is that the type 4 will bolt up to a stock bug transaxle, however, you will have to ditch the stock cooling impeller and use either an upright cooling shroud or one of Raby's DTM's, Think you have to use a center bearing out a vanagon and a few other clutch items. There are a few different options for exhaust, check the usual VW guys. It's a pretty easy swap from what i've seen. Only took us about a half hour to pull it out in the Pelican parking lot one day.

I think you'll also want to invest in a transmission that has been geared for the Type 4 as well. Luckily, VW parts are relativley cheap.
