Title: NOS crankcase
Post by: Lee.C on January 21, 2008, 23:12:16 pm
I know this is a REALLY LONG SHOT but I am wondering if anyone out there (preferably in the States)
with a NOS VW AS21 crankcase - this is the "universal" type with the mount for a Type2.

I am not bothered about cost as this is something I REALLY want, its for a future engine project I
have planned for PROJECT 66  ;) :)

So does anyone have any leads - let me know if you have ANY info

Cheers Guys  :)

an AS 21 is not a universal case... it doesnt have the hole for the pickuptube off the type3. well mine hasn't and i heard they need to be lnebored most off the time as specs may be out, even on good ones or new ones... i think i know off one, but not NOS...

ok maybe "universal case." is the wrong term - I just mean the ones with the mount for a type2 - basiclly the same as the one in the manx  ;) :)

Its what Keith Seume recomends in his "VW perforamnce Handbook" he says they are the strongest VW made - I think they are also know as F.I cases  ??? :)

The Fuel Injection case isn't quite the same - it's the one with the back filled behind number 3 and no hole for the fuel pump. Standard fitment in late Karmann Cabs I think, and possibly late type 3s.

Late type 3's had the fuel pump hole there, the fuel pump wasnt mounted there though. I dont know what it is, I just threw it in the round file and stuck on 42's ;)

so you were inspired as well by that book to go and hunt for parts??? that book is the reason i have one myself. but i have made the hole in it to fit the type3 oilfiller, and i allready had a electric pump, so indeed no hole for the pump. and welded behind the 3th cylinder.
