Jake is at it again - the type 4 engine was designed as a VW engine, NOT a Porsche engine (for the VW 411 and 412).

The 914-4 was built with it and sold as a VW in Europe but sold in the US as a Porsche, and the engine found it's way into the Porsche 912E to replace the 356 base engine as a cost savings measure.

That hardly makes the type 4 "a real Porsche engine". But of course, Jake want's to sell you one...
