TypeI upright cooled TypeIV help.

Now that I've got the phernomonal braking and handling, I want to be able to come out of a bend, as fast as I go in!

I have 2 TypeIV motors, a 'CJ' and an 'AN'. The CJ is from a 2.0 camper, and the AN is in boxes, fully stripped. It was bought with an unfinished kit car and is supposedly one those blueprinted 2 litre . This engine was never even fired up, stood for years and the camgear had turned into 3" thick mass of Al. Oxide. The case has cleaned up mint. The heads are like new, still bead-blast finish in the cumbustion chambers.

I've got the heads off the CJ, took the valves out and the guides are shot. The clean heads that came with the AN engine have different exhaust ports, I think they are 1.8. I have good heat exchangers for these heads, so I know they're NOT 914.

Which parts would make the best engine? Will the heads be OK on the otherwise stock 2.0l? A mate has healthy collection of unhealthy TypeIV engines and is keen to help.

He has donated a centre mount twin-choke Webber manifold which I intend to mount a K-jet throttle body. Another thought was to use the stock Solex's as throttle bodies for the K-jet system.

I want to keep my '79 Bug fuel injected, and will go for the K-jet system off a MkI Golf GTI I can have for nothing.

I eventually want the full-on 2.4++ Porsche fan, EFI motor but for now the stock bits I've got WILL have to do.

I intend to adapt T1 cooling/charging and make up an exhaust before the engine gets fully over-hauled. Where can I find the infomation I need? (Other than on here ) I'm aware of a US manual that gives all the help and comes with diagrams and such.

This is my winter project, but I can't sleep until I know what I'm going to do.

Any thoughts/help would be muchly appreciated,

Matt \X/
