Hi, Mike.
My (very biased) advice is: if you can locate a Type 4, forget the Types
1, 2 and 3. The Type 4 is an extensive redesign, solved most of the
reliability problems of the preious ones, the case was built in a better
alloy. Only problem is to find one, because much less Type 4 were
produced.
I own a "how to rebuild your VW engine" book, and the authour keeps saying
"Of course, this problem is not found on the Type 4 because..."
The Type 4, 1.7 liter version will give you 65 hp. There are good and
safe modifications available on the market to increase that to at least 80
hp.
Check Great Plains Aircraft website, it is full of information on the
subject.

Hey Netters, I am contemplating type 1 VW2180CC and type 4. I was
wondering
what the weight differences are vs power output.
