I vote for Money No Limit.
For Heads go here: Thorsten Pieper billet heads, Twin Plug, Type 1 Exh.
Go either 98 or 100mm x 78, the heads would like a larger bore.

If serious about the budget# go with nickies and the CS kit, but make certain to spec 4032 alloy pistons, not the buttery soft alloy for racing.
Addendum to Newtons first law:
zero vehicles on jackstands, square gets a fresh 090 and 1911, cabby gets a blower.
EZ3.6 Vanagon after that.(mounted, needs everything finished) then Creamsicle.

Hey Jonas.
Here you go:
78 mm AA crankshaft.
210 mm Sachs sport pressure plate, stock 210 mm disc.
WBX rods (5,394") modified with 356 oil squirters. Lightened 60 gr.
RAT 9530 camshaft. Rat lifters. ACN aluminum push rods.
26 mm Shadek oil pump.
95 mm Kolbenschmidt or Mahle pistons and cylinders.
412S heads. 42 x 34 mm valves, detailed. 9-1 CR.
8 mm. rocker arms, Elephant feet adjusters.
Bosch 009 distributor w. Ignitor module and 3 ohm coil.
45 mm Dellorto carburettors w. 36 mm venturies.
DTM cooling. Thermostatic controlled oil cooling. (Stock type 4 cooler in the DTM position.)
1½" bugpack header and 2 in line 2" Simons mufflers, one on each side of the engine.

The only thing I would do different today would be to add a CB Black box to increase head temps and fuel economy even further.

Excellent! Mine is back on the road after 9 years too! I ended up with a Type 1 based motor though.jonas n wrote:The thing is i brought home my old fasty after nine years of storage, I have to put together a type4 for that too:)
