Marks old combo comes to mind:
2332 cc
210HP on 91 octane. Good for weekend warrior and limited driving but will last a good 30k before heads need work.
You'll need close gearing but you could drive it coast to coast if you didnt mind waisting alot of its useful life in the process.
84 stroke crank, forged any brand.
12lb flywheel,stock or aftermarket.
Drill both for 11/32s dowel pins.
Kennedy ST 2 w/cushlock disc.
5.5 " H beam rods with arp 2000 bolts, any brand with 5/16th bolts. Dont use 3/8s bolt rods unless you like grinding the heck out of your cam.
Cima 94 piston/cyls, stock out of the box. assemble dry with no oil.
use racing pin clips.
CB Wedgeport 44x 37.5 heads with VW style three groove valves ,bugpack 4046 dual springs and Titanium retainers. Check Valve seat seal and flycut for 10 to 1 compr with .040 piston to cyl deck.
Or the equivalent in a hand ported set of heads, Good luck beating the flow figures of these heads tho. And good luck waiting for them.
Tall IDA manifolds that are ported all the way up and only flair slightly at the bottom where the port goes into the head. This is where most people fail their motor. The manifolds must not restrict the flow of the heads. do what ever it takes to make them right.
48 IDAs with 44 vents 180 mains and 200 airs.
48 dells or IDFs can work but will limit power slightly since a 42 vent is as big as you can go.
1-3/4" header with 2.5" muff.
VW mag case (install large oil pick up from 1600),cut for sand seal,FF,bore&stroke. straight cut timing gears(not cast), CB flaired pushrod tubes, twin lip silicone flywheel seal (install deep), 26mm Shadeck oil pump plugged for full flow, EMPI iron FF cover, 1.5 qt sump, chrome moly 8mm head studs.
Scat lifters resurfaced by SLR or web or CB lifters.
FK46 Engle cam.
1.4 scat rockers or equivalent. Lift at valve must not exceed .600.
3/8 thin wall Chrome Moly pushrods. scat,cb ,manton...
lashcaps.
I use new stock valve covers and bails with vents for breather .
36hp DH shroud with glued internal vains so they don't break loose.
009 with Ignitor/compufire and Blue or Red Bosch coil.
Bosch plugwires.
My 1400lb 65 Bug (with driver) went 11.03 at almost 122mph before Carlsbad got closed down and I drove around the streets of OC destroying anything in its path. This same type of motor went 11.80 in another full weight street car that was only missing the back seat.
maybe just use a 82 crank (they are easier to get with a VW rod journal) and a slightly less radical cam - you should be able to go 100mph easily
i have all the parts for this engine (82 crank/Fk-43 cam/ pieper lifters) and will try to build it over the winter. problem is i have to convert the heating system for my house (and garage) to not burn gas this winter
