Have you seen the dry sump pulley setup from vwspeedshop? when i was going to do dry sump it was either that, or a small pulley and 356 top pulley. but the speedshop had something like 3 different sized top pulleys for different speeds from stock ratio to racing... maybe worth a look?

What cylinders are you using Richie?
AA's I used them on my 2789 and they were far from round when I measured them with stress plates on. Both barrel shaped aksial and clover leaf radial (yes, I know how to spell aksial but my daughter spilled something on my keyboard so no I have no cross  ). They were OK after some work though. |

They will be checked thoroughly and sized to the required piston to cylinder clearance  |

..and how cool would it be if a beetle ran in it? This for real Richie?? I have hesitated to reply for a few days for a variety of reasons, but yes this is what I am now re-building the car to do, my budget may not allow me to attend next year but I will do it and we will be taking 2 cars, there is no class a VW really fits in but just to finish will be the goal, we are aiming to run 10s every day and then if I make the drive to the end,I will turn it up and see what it will do on the last day   cheers Richie |

Nothing happened on this engine for a few days,hoping to have the cam & cylinders next week, but I did get the heads of the old engine back after deciding to get all the valve seats replaced as one was loose, so put that engine back together and back in the car again, so hoping to go out this weekend and get some more license passes done, I have swapped the clutch out as well to try something else and see if it would be more suitable for the new engine, hopefully it will hold enough and be a little easier driving around
cheers Richie

Well its that time again, old engine is out cabrio for new pistons and cylinders and freshen up for USW in Vegas, this engine is back out the boxes and on bench, need to collect the cylinders and get head studs ordered next and should be good for final mock up, then clean everything and put it together
