Possible to switch VW engine???
I have a 67-912 with non matching but period correct engine. I like the car, yet in some aspects I would like some "punch", HP to the car as well. I was wondering for those who have either bought a 912 with a VW engine in it or those who made the conversion to a type 4 VW engine is there any regret or things that you enjoy about the engine that the 912 did not offer. I know there are some manufacturers of these type of engines that are extremely expensive yet they have the expertise to back it up, so not a knock on them. If I was able to I would put some $$$ in getting these engine in my 912, however I am looking at those engines that are found or possibly rebuilt with a few add on, etc, etc that can maximize torque and horsepower without that much expense...expense being nominal and different to each individual and yet there is a good sense in the old adage, you get what you pay for. I know there are alot of threads on this, but there seems more on the mechanical aspect of installation, HP, etc... All comments welcomed! Pro's vs Con's
