In the latest issue of Hot VWs a writer enquires about high performance water
cooled motor parts and the editors respond that there isn't much but they
also say this: 

"Fortunately, quite a few of the internal components are interchangeable
between the waterboxer and the Type 1 engine including cam, crankshaft,
distributor, oil pump and rocker arms."

This sentence sounds like an outrageous assertion--hardly believeable. 

Has anybody else ever even *considered* swapping beetle motor parts into
their 83 and up Vanagon engine????

Right. I thought not. 

If you have given this matter any thought or study and you are reading this
post then out with it!  Share what you know.

The editors also add that they had an article dealing with modifications to
the "Wasservoxer" engine for performance in the August 85 issue. 

Anybody got this article or know what it says. It might be a good idea to
have it posted to the net.
