In Search of an Engine
Hello all, I've been recently looking into upgrading my VW Beetle's engine and was wondering where some places to look for a 914 engine might be...I'm on the East Coast of the US and it would be nice to find something relatively close to me...

The 4 cylinder 914 engine shares a LOT of it's design and parts with the 1972 and up VW bus and the VW 411/412 sedan/wagon. You could find the engine in any of the 3 basic vehicles so you have several engine sources to choose from.
If you are interested in putting a type 4 engine into a beetle we have a forum for these and other such conversions, The Type 4um. Come on over and take a look around, there is a lot of info posted worth reading.
