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

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 Huh

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.

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

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

Nice stacks!!! Grin
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 Smiley

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 :-)

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