With a nearly month long vacation looming, and a pile of parts ready to assemble, work on our 2234cc EMPI Engine Battle motor begins! April 30th the engine build starts and over the course of four days & 30+ hours (spending 12 to 16 hour days at the warehouse) Sam takes the parts he's chosen, and spent numerous hours of work on already, and begins and finishes the full assembly of the largest engine he's ever built. The best part is, by the end, it runs and most importantly it runs well! Will it make the most horsepower at the EMPI Engine Battle? Probably not, but that really isn't the goal. Our goal is to make a powerful but more importantly to us, a street drive-able engine. An engine that is only good for all out power is fine for a drag racing car, but as most of us spend time in our Vintage VWs on the roads, that is what we are aiming for. Keep in mind that all of this is done by an enthusiast, much like yourselves. Sam has no formal training and is just a self taught (by the school of hard knocks and mistakes mostly!) guy that does this for enjoyment. Heck, this is only the 4th COMPLETE engine that he has built. So, follow along and enjoy the process of taking a ton of parts and turning them into a running engine!
