hi i was just wondering what everyone's take on what teh ideal size engine is for a type II baywindow? some say 1776 others 1914, there is also the 2110 or then you get in to the 911 motors. i was just wondering for a guy who just wants to have an engine that will be some what reliable.Fairly low buget but still not cutting corners and has alot of throttle response if you know what i mean . It is a bus so i know there are limits . It is for an everyday driver So i know that i can't go to big. So what is your 2 cents?

A 1776 just may be good enough for you but a 1914 with mild compresion and a engle 100 cam would work great!

78 x 90.5 = 2007
If you can find all the stock VW parts to put a nice 2L T4 into your early bay, that would be a decent way to go also.
