I have VW 73 and want to change the engine. Now already have the engine .porsche 911 sc. how to put the engine.Can someone quide me.help me pleaseHow to put porsche 911 engine into vw?If I remember correctly, the Porsche engine and Volkswagen will bolt up together. Use a Porsche clutch, pressure plate and VW throwout bearing. If you had the Porsche transmission it will bolt in too, and the advantage is that the VW is a 4 speed and the Porsche is a 5 speed.
Now the hard part. the Porsche is a 6 cylinder engine and the VW only has 4. All the VW engine shrouding won't work with this swap, and you might have to do some bodywork to the VW to get that big engine to fit.
But this swap IS possible, and makes a cool car once it's done. Good luck. How to put porsche 911 engine into vw?This swap is %26quot;possible%26quot; but not practicable. This will be an enormous undertaking because the 3 liter SC engine will not fit in the VW engine bay. The VW transmission won't handle the torque, etc. Huge modifications will be required. Think in terms of years to complete and thousands and thousands of dollars in expense.
You would be better off selling the SC engine (very popular for a 914/6 conversion and a good engine) and putting a 4 cylinder Type IV engine in your VW for great performance. Jake Raby is the guru of these conversions. Check his site below. He might even swap you a Type IV engine for your 6 cylinder. Jake can build a Type IV with more HP than your SC engine and it'll fit right in your VW engine bay.
Good luck.How to put porsche 911 engine into vw?Ben's on the right track. I've done several Type IV conversions using plans from www.nextgen-usa.com, with a few of my own modifications.
The Type IV mill will fit right in with only a few mods, %26amp; works great. The biggest expenses are dual carbs %26amp; the exhaust.
You can swipe a Type IV engine from any VW 411 or 412, a mid '72 or later Transporter, or a Porsche 914 or 912.
The Type IV engine can be punched out to 2400 cc without losing any reliability. Bolt on a pair of 44mm carbs, %26amp; you're off. The really nice thing is that you add less than 50 lbs of extra weight. If you really want to get radical, you can convert to a Bus tranny too, as they're much stronger than the Type I unit, but it's a lot of work.
