Basics of the type V water to air.
What from a type 1 is used internally in a type V conversion. As I understand it 94 mahles are a slip in?? Are the cam to crank centerlines the same??? Will it house a big stroke easier??? I am thinking this could make a good bracket motor but have my doubts. I have heard a lot of conflicting stories. I used a VW factory service manual and tried to check out the specifics of the stock water coolers but was unable to answer most of my questions. I am not interested in the finite details just the basics of what components are used to make this a viable race motor.

Here's some pages on Rocky's website that may help to understand it a little more:boredandstroked wrote:What from a type 1 is used internally in a type V conversion.

It has the same centerline from crank to cam, same cylinder center to center spacing as a type one, but made from aluminum.
