Title: Building a 36 HP engine for a 1955 23 window bus
Post by: Frenchy Dehoux on February 13, 2013, 17:20:24 pm
    Have been busy building over half dozen engines for various customer. No time to work on my NSU project customer first hopefully soon I can get back to my own projects. Here a few pictures of this 36 hp I am building for a high end VW bus. I will be using the original ( Kamax ) bolts with the 14 mm nuts I had all of the hardware cad plated I know that on some of these 25 and 36 HP engines they were anodize in black. New crank,new rods,new lifters.new heads, new pistons and cylinders etc .........

   This is a brand new case STD never been use and the gold coating that was originally on the 36 was faded a bit from sitting on the shelve and the customer wanted to have it re coated to be like the original way and we payed $800+ to have it redone.
