VW engine for conversion
Posted: Thu Jan 27, 2022 9:46 am
Hi All,
I've just taken delivery of some VW engines and parts for conversion. In the pile is a type 4 engine which I don't need as I'm more interested in the type 1 which is fitted to the small single seaters - Nipper, Taylor Monoplane and the like.
The type 4 is slightly larger with sturdier internal parts and an aluminium crankcase which is not susceptible to cracks, unlike the aluminium/magnesium alloy of the type 1.
Consequently the engine is a bit heavier but also, because of the increased spacing of the cylinders, can be taken to higher capacity and power than the type 1. It would be more suitable for the VW powered two seaters.
This engine is 'as removed from the vehicle' so is a bit grubby, has no accessories - is essentially a long block- The oil pump is missing but may be in the big box of bits. It comes with a spare crankcase and cylinder heads.
Free to collect from Oxford.
