type 4 starter engine

[Massive Type IV]

The only thing that separates the VW from any car in the world is the aircooled engine.. Removing the aircooled engine creates a car that may as well be a Ford Pinto or Chevy Chevette- Both were economy cars of the same era!

BTW- To dispel a myth:
The TIV engine is NOT 4 times more expensive than a TI of equal displacement. when you compare apples to apples it will take the same amount of money to create a TI even close to the strength of a TIV in durability respects.

When one decides to drive their car instead of working on it- they graduate to the TIV.
