I like fast, scary, reliable cars. Is that okay also ?
Sure. But this thread is for us people that prefer not-so-fast, mildly intimidating, very reliable cars.
;D

the one/jim awesome thread/topic as usual..
i like this, this is also one of the reasons for the planned engine of mine (88x74) i know and been told too many times, it would cost the same to do a 90.5x76 ( lol sure.. how many 1955s are out there? alot )
and as everyone mentioned, thats easy and parts can be had left n right,
for reasons i was never around in the 60s 70s and even 80s lol
i am doing the 88x74 ,
Sarge, im sure jim, and many others already fell and scratched their knees on the pavement at one point
i do wana fall and scratch my knees too.. so i can "feel" the fun, the fun in going thru parts, making things work.. or making them not work LOL i seriously think thats what makes the hobby unique , the "wanting" to experience it,
come to think of it , Jim! the 1979 brazil issue beetle (mine) needs rebuilding, now im thinking
a sporty 88x69 should do? aside from the 88x74 hehe

Cool! My roommate ran that engine for many years and loved it. Ran great and pulled hard. Had IDA carbs, the first time around in a stock Ruby Red '66 sunroof Bug. Only other mod was the front end was slightly lowered. What a fun sleeper to drive. Next, he put 44 IDF carbs on and it was in his 1970 Westfalia for several years after that. One great Bus to drive... I miss that thing. All stock, with oxidized paint, and a single FourTuned muffler. He sold that rig to one of my co-workers when we worked for ARCO Pipeline Co. in the early '90s. That guy was on so many different drugs, he blew it up on a road trip. I wanted that engine so bad.
Build it! What cam would you use on that?
