Finishing up my beetle. While I could not get a Polo motor (amazing engine but too pricey for me) I did get a type 4 motor. Its a 2385cc. Still finishing up things before I can drive it. This is my build page, Might be a fun read for some of you.

| The only problem with with polo engines is the complicated timing still same as the 6cylinder 😣😠😡😠 it's not so easy to much guessing why couldn't there just be timing marks so that it's straight forward thing.. nope you gotta be guessing and playing and trying to get it as close to the right timing 👎👎 |

2385cc type 4 engine swap complete. Not the Polo motor but very happy with this motor. Has plenty of power and is good fun to drive, 2nd and 3rd gear pulls put a huge grin on my face. I went with a Rancho pro street with .82 forth. Not the 5 speed I originally wanted, $950 vs $4500........its a no brainer, car runs great.

In the video you mention it "Drinks alot of fuel". What type of MPG are you getting? If its drinking alot of gas, there is some room for more horsepower via tuning/jetting. The video is not super clear, but are those dual idfs? Even at your 180-200hp mention these should be getting 20-22 mpg even when having fun.
Thats one of the advantages of Hot rod vw's, you can have fun and you dont need to be the victim of 10 mpg like V8 carbureted cars |

So has anyone installed a polo engine in a type 1 ???
Would one fit in a type 1 deck lid fully closed ??
How much bigger are the cases to a type 4 case since we already know a type 4 fits in a type 1 ??? |
