Title: just bought a leaky 1641 Post by: beetletom on June 28, 2007, 17:12:09 pm its leaking out of the pulley :-\
i'm going to rebuild it (with some help!) i'd like to make it a bit faster, as i think its only got 1641 heads... whats the best go faster bits for my first mild peformance engine? i might be swapping my 68 beetle for a pair of 36 or 40 twin carbs aswell...

a counterweight 69 crank and 87pistons a 009 with compufire module original dualport heads with 40x35 valves put in (not much extra machining) and 1300 dualport heads are an option since they have bigger valves fullflowed with an extra filter and cooler. and first i ran 36 IDF and now 40's it is a very fun combination. it reaches close to a 100 ponies, so it has twice the power it came with and drives nice in trafic. if i had to change one thing about the car i would have the case and heads machined for 90,5 mm pistons and have a 1776 and maybe step up to a W120 with 1.1 rockers or the 1.25's Title: Re: just bought a leaky 1641 Post by: Sander/DVK on June 29, 2007, 10:31:49 am Go for the 1776 or 1914cc indeed.
