Engine Detailing Thread

[JS]

Thank`s Cal 56 & Fred for that kind words.
Next step`s: install polished fuel-lines, some ldetails and update to 2178cc 

So many nice engines in here what a blast.
Here is another one I really love cause it really has that 70`s look.
My club mates Tobi`s engine:


Go on...

Tobi's engine is AWSOME "period perfect" what dizzy is he running

An old Mallory/Scat/Treuhaft I think. Have a couple of those laying around, both dual and single point.
I think these look awesome, but I guess they kinda suck since "no one" is running them these days.

[Tobi/DFL]

Ups, that´s my engine!
You are right Johnny, it´s a Treuhaft "010" dissy. I use it with a Mallory unilite modul and didn´t have any trouble with it, yet.
Bye,

Tobi

How good would it look with a MAGNETO though

That is a SUPERBLY detailed engine dude - I love the wiring deatil and those SHORT manifolds - PERFECT! 

[Tobi/DFL]

Thanks, Lee!

Hey Matt there's something on top of your carbs....

Yeah I know the dont look as good as open stacks.  But pluged jets and fouled plugs arent fun to change with short intakes.

Nice stacks!!!
I had a pair of the cool cast aluminium stacks, picked them up off thesamba.com for cheap. But they wouldn't fit under the filters. So I traded those to Steve Hollingsworth for a pair of Berg stacks he had lying around, drove over to Sil Modesti's place and he shortened them. Then I took them to HPC for some fancy ceramic coating. I think they only rise .400" above the carb (total height was about 3/4") and probably do nothing, but I was so proud of them

[nicolas]

and so am i!

i like them as well. they fit perfect, but indeed could have been a bit higher, for more effect, but anything is better then nothing. i haven't run them with the filters, i thought there wasn't much clearance, but i'll try it some day.

btw the carbs must look familiar as well.

Charlie, that pick-up engine is AWESOME! Especially the fuel pump. Wish I would've kept mine... had those in both of my '66 Beetles.

I would definitely make a shortened breather tower for that pickup engine..certainly not fun to add oil with this configuration :-)

[Rennsurfer]

I noticed that, too. But figured it was a later body with the top access removable cover.

finally got my 82x88 in the 61

[Steve67]

Looks great, a lot of nice parts on that engine

As period-correct as anything out there, straight outta 1970! Looks great, man!

And in the interest of keeping the thread going, here's my lump on medium format film, sometime back in the summer when I had time to actually keep the poor thing clean.



It has heater hoses now thankfully, being my only car it's nice to have some warmth again.
