AWESOME, Bates! Extra credit for running big heater boxes and a distributor, too.

It is a great feeling. This engine has gone together a few times with different components but this is the final combo for now. I tried to do everything I could myself from machining the barrels, pushrods, relief valve seats, topping lifter bores, balanced the rods end to end, balanced the pistons, brazed on the pick up tube, welded up any unnecessary holes in the tin, etc. I also made the AN -6 carb fittings and M12 x 1.0 plug, opened up the float bowls and fuel inlets and made steel AN -8 breather fittings for the fuel pump block off and passenger side valve cover. Hopefully it will be going in very soon! I have to clean up the wiring, do some body work to the engine compartment seal channels and install factory style sound deadening before it goes in. As for the header, it's a Berg 1 3/4" header with new heater boxes that have been opened up and 1 3/4" pipes put in before being sealed back up. They had the header and heater boxes in stock but no mufflers so I got a pretty good deal on it. Since their header guy is so flakey, they may never make them again (Dee's words, not mine). Since they weren't going have mufflers in the foreseen future, I hacked off the flange and reclocked it for the A1 I got from James @ Buggy House very cheap. I also made an 02 bung and welded that in. Here's the 67 waiting: |

Always dug the way your car looks and it's proper finish on the alloys. Looking forward to seeing it all come together, John.

I wish. This is a 67 I bought near Klamath Falls, Oregon about 5 year ago. It wears a lot of it's original 45 year old paint and really could use a respray. It's a good 20 footer and always looks better in pics than in person.

Motor is in. Need some AN fittings for the oil lines, some heater hoses and wire it up. I also need to move one of the Fast Fab Kafer brace cross bar tabs. The down strut won't clear the drivers side heater box since my motor is so narrow, so I've got to cut off the tab and move it about a 1/4". I'm also going to make a custom traction bar that tucks up closer to the body and will clear the muffler and use outboard rubber mounts like a late bus. Looks like I'll need my back up Mike Collins tranny freshened up pretty soon. |

Just need time, money and better weather. Work has slowed and I've had to spend a bunch of time and money lately on stuff other than VWs ($1200 on a Fridge last week). I've got fuel in the carbs, 5 quarts of 10W-30 VR-1 in the sump. I need 2 -8 90* AN fittings that I'll have Friday, wire the gauges, bleed my brakes, align the suspension and break the transaxle. I"m also contemplating shortening my manifolds a 1/2" so my #2 velocity stack clears the decklid with the filter on. |

Earl's Ano-Tuff? That's what I need for the Pro-Lite 350 hose. I think this will probably be my last fitting purchase this year.

Got my fittings today, oil lines built, System 1 filter mounted, and gear oil in trans I went to fire the motor and I've got no spark. It's hooked up exactly as it was with the old motor, so either the Pertronix took a dump, MSD coil or the 6AL took a dump. They don't call MSD Mysterious Spark Disappearance for nothing. My fucking intermediate housing leaks on the new trans too. |

I carry an offshore brand, but it's hard annodized, all black. Pretty damn sexy if I do say so my damn self. I'm going to run it and the pro-lite hose on my IDA's. |
