Jim any news?? Only news I really have is that time is very hard to find right now. Sheep's 88 x 74 motor is my main focus right now, he's been waiting for over a year. I did spend much of the weekend smoothing the inside of his case. Sorry no time for pictures and stories right now. I'll be back......... |

Hi guys,
Sheep's heads are nearly done, though they are going to be 40 x 35.5 now, not 35 x 32
My garage is still a mess, and in no shape for putting a nice new motor together. Next step will be getting the heads sent off for bigger seats and cut for dual springs and 88mm bore. While they're out, I will take some pics of other parts and tools and share on the other thread. Sorry for lagging.

Slacker... it's not like you're working a full-time job, your wife's near the end of her pregnancy and you have to get things ready for the baby's room! |

here is a question i have to ask:
what trans works for a 1776? i want to drive it, but it needs to be stronger. it is a 4.12 type3 case from a 66. so i was thinking of a late model swingaxle with shorter gears, but with super diff and sideplates...
just something that will keep it together and will drive me around.

Not really questions yet, but maybe you can tell me a little more on cam choice, if you compare camshafts with each other where to look for, what gives more bottom end torque, more rpm etc. So look at duration, valve lift, heads, carbs etc.
And one other question, when to use chromoly head studs instead of OEM VW?

this thread was supposed to be an assembly technique guide more than a "what parts to use" guide. Sorry. Camshafts can be tricky and really, deserve their own thread.... let's start one.... |

Well Jiim do you have a list with all the tools you need to build an engine, to measure up parts etc. So I can start buying them to check out the parts when they arrive.
