Wasserboxer in my beetle??
Hi there,
This is my first post here.
I currently have a 1967 VW beetle 1500 with a singleport 1300F engine.
I read a little piece about someone putting a wbx engine into his Type 3 and I know it has been put into beetles as well. I read that it's a cheaper alternative over a big Type 1 or Type 4 engine and quite similar to a Type 1. I also read that it is not a very hard thing to work with.
Now, my question is as a newbie would I be able to put a wasserboxer engine into my beetle without any real time restraints.
I read they are, at least in Holland, not very hard to come by on junkyards. I also found a 2.1 litre 90bhp for 250 euros (is that reasonable?)
What is your opinion about the things I just said. And can you give me an indication of $$$ etc.
Perhaps a link to a website where it has been done? I mean i have seen pics, but not really any useful info.
Cheers!
Diederick
