Reply to "Motor rebuild..."

@vdubuslife- So George, what's in the 1776? You know, camshaft, heads & porting, carbs, compression; you know, all that stuff- I need to know EVERYTHING! Guys, I have to train another one! When you rebuild the 1600 will it stay a 1600 or get bigger and have more power? I've always thought a great Speedster engine would be a 74 mm stroke crankshaft (original 356, 5 mm longer than 1300/1500/1600 VW) with 356 length rods (2? mm shorter than VW rods), either 90.5's, thickwall 92's or 94's with (depending on budget, cam and power you're looking for) either ported stock valve size (35x32mm) or big valve (40x35) heads and some 40 mm IDF's or Dellorto's.

When I said I could only dream of having that much space I wasn't kidding- I present to you...

The Speedster lair

 

Yup, that's my almost half of the garage, along with the paint/work stuff in the corner, bicycles and ladders (which you can't see) hanging from the ceiling. And the pic doesn't show the lay down freezer in front of the car. There is a beer fridge on the other side in front of the family/wife's car, though...

Yoda out (for now, but you know back I surely will be!)
