mixing crank, pistons and heads...
I have a 40 HP case which I put the crank from a 1600. I also plan on
putting 8505 mm (1600) Pistons/cyl's. Can I use the 40 HP heads? tia, -- Mel P. parts for sale http://melsvws.4t.com/vwparts/index.htm 77 Bug - stock FI http://melsvws.4t.com/77bug/index.htm 70 KG Cabrio http://melsvws.4t.com/70ghia/index.htm |

I don't think the later cylinders will fit in the 1200 case without machining, and even if they did fit, this is probably not a good idea. The heads will also have to be machined to accept the larger cylinders. I think you'd be way ahead to find a good used 1600 core engine to rebuild. - ----------------------------------------------- Jim Adney Madison, WI 53711 USA ----------------------------------------------- |
