Great little engine. I found a 69 Ghia that was heading to the car crusher! My son and I are working on it together. Our goal is to get it running and on the road and enjoy driving 👍✌️

This is just nice all around, especially the fact you drove it back home after a few hard runs, Way to go!🤙🏾

Amazing with so lil engine work these beetles can pull close to 10, s down the 1/4

[tstu]

Good stuff. Love where you mounted the coil.

[darrells]

good video, are you doing the friday night street legals ?
I'm just in the final fit and tune on my 56, running a cb performance 2332, I would be interested in what you come up with for jetting, I haven't got into that yet.
I'm 5 min from the track, look you up down there in the spring

Get a Gene Berg traction bar it will get rid of the wheel hop. Also the engle 130 cam is a bit small for your motor. Still nice runs and beautiful bug!

Yeah, I figured the Webers may have come set up that way. My carbs are Solex P40’s. Hard to find stacks for them and when you do, folks are asking 5 or 6 Hundo for a set.😫

Cool whip! Gorgeous build, balls of steel driving to California. Or further than 5 miles from your house. I must not know how to put a VW together to save my life if these trips are somehow still possible in an aircooled without being followed by a Toyota with a flatbed car trailer.

Where did you get that instrument cluster for the block of radio? Nice touch

[gregmarsh]

... Does it do better than 8 MPG on regular - down hill????

[boynumber]

Very nice car !!!
Could you please tell me what brand is your steering wheele?
I’m looking for one like that

Go with 1.4 ratio rockers, there's a well worth while gain for not a lot of money. Do the jeting on a rolling road afterwards.

[davidschutz]

Very nice build, Bravo! Noticed your velocity stacks, any suggestions where I might get similar stacks for my 356SC engine?

nice i miss my bug days i had two of them was my first car first love 75 bug clone as a 60's and dropped with porsche rims.18cc dual weber baja stinger pipe all my buddies laugh at but i thought it looked bad as i was 15-16 years oid when i asked my old man if i could have his old non running vw...i 48 now and wish i could find another vw bug but FUCK a piece of rust no motor no floor pan 60-70 bugs are going for a lot more.They are getting rare..unless u go to south of the border custom bugs down there are on a different level then the cal look style bugs from the 90's

Dang....😳Quicker than...a lot of muscle car 😏egos...

[salrivera]

Nice little bug i will put a d series Honda motor carburetor and call it the day reason to really cruse around with a 160 hp honda d series engine junkyards parts easy build fast enough to have fun with old school style.

[chuckmaddison]

That's pretty good for a German Morris Minor..

[PatHaskell]

What did it dyno at before these changes and what fuel mileage where you getting on the trip to and from Cali?

Sorry, one more question, what exhaust do you have?

[anthonysayle]

Have u tried a wasp set up for a exhaust

[VWForever]

Nice for a 1/8 mile that's not bad, remember that's a 1, 700 + pound car ..
