modern motor/trans for DKW 3=6 ?

[southbay356]

My friend found a DKW 3=6 today at a yard sale ,

It has a dead motor in it ,

Has anyone put a modern 4 stroke motor in one ?

Its a neat car , but it would be nice to have a modern motor so you could buy parts for it,

any ideas ?

thanks

Hi and welcome to UCP. Depending on where you are, you be able to get into contact with the German DKW-Club, who might have some parts available. A good engine choice could be the Ford V4 as also used in the Saab 96. It is also based on front wheel drive and much more powerful.

Hello.
Please dont consider to put a shitty V4 in the car,

Why not use a Audi 80/Passat (Fox/Dasher in US)

these pictures i found for a few years ago on the internet
its a 1000 SP roadster with a Audi 80 engine and i also think they used the A 80 gearbox , (looks to be in a museum ?)
