I thought that that just before I went to bed last night!
I love that beetle of his with the 2.8 lump in it years ago it was one of my favorite lumps!

A friend on another forum has put those scoobie engines in buses, but has moved on to golfs at the moment but leaving them with vag engines though!

Got to be something on the web somewhere!

Oh right, I had'nt heard anything, sorry.

Where did your conversion plate etc. come from? What gearbox are you running?

I made mine out of some 10mm plate and got a mate to machine my flywheel up for me. im still useing a late bug box with splined main shaft factory welded 3rd 4th super diff and h/d side plate,
its holding up so far.

Barry what BHP do you reckon you are pushing out????

IF im gonna go alternate engine then i wanna try n get over 200 horses

The deeper i get into the strip down on my Oval the more it looks like im gonna go for some serious power oh and a helluvva lot o welding too

Now ive got some clean injectors in it i should be back up to 160hp and the same in torque. 200hp+ is easy going alternative.
just spend as mutch as you can afford gear box wise.

that is a good point mate...............
WHICH gearbox do i wanna get?????????????????????????

Depends on how mutch power your after and how your going to use it and im sure your going to give it some stick and how many £'s your willing to spend . porsche 5sp might be the way to go considering the distace you travle .

ok matey cheers for that.

what about these rhino boxes or rancho boxes they any good?????

The Oval is now gonna become my weekend fun car so i neeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeds more POWER

i will most prob run her wiv the 1641 untill i can get the scooby donk/gearbox n bits i need to do it all .
gonna sort all the welding out first then dics brakes on front plus narrowed beem n lowered on a rake,have to watch back end clearance etc

The rhino is the name for the later miledly stronger case. rancho have a good rep . their pro comp box is good but it should be at around 2grand. :)sorry pro drag or drag pro.
