I've driven a VW Bug since the mid 90's, and am a big fan. The year you chose was perfect for this build! Nice work guys!

My first beetle was a 1965 VW. Beetle.I dreamed of one since I was in 3rd grade it was one of the best Blues that my dad could have picked out. At the time in 1962 my girlfriend had a 1966 grey with a maroon ragtop and .I just love going through these shout . These are my bugs and many dreams and when I die I will go to hognilenddddsee9

They didn't do anything to the engine. Looks to me like they replaced it with a brand new 2000+cc dual carb engine. You can buy them pre-built.

To get 200HP you need ported heads, bigger carbs, Intake and Cams. You can get it prebuilt from many performance shops.

Where did I miss the new engine being identified and installed? I'm watching the old one come out and suddenly a new one appeared magically installed in the engine bay. I've never had that happen to me. And for those who thought it looked better before they lowered it: I agree. They lost the look lowering the suspension, no matter how many roof racks they put on.

I am all for recycling. So use the engine from a car where the body is totaled and the body from a car where the engine is dead. So did not listen, but is this a refurbished engine? New engines should be electric. Or at least do some fun stuff, like a scaled down (hi-octane to ease cooling) flat-6 or even a 120° V6 .

@earlycuyler8719 3 жыл бұрын

@@ArneChristianRosenfeldt don't know but I get where you are coming from. I once had a 64' ford that blew up and I had a wrecked 76' Chevy with a 350 in it. I put the engine and transmission in the Ford. Had to make some mounts and get the drive shaft modified but it worked. Also here in Kentucky I've seen a lot of saw mills with just about any engine that will run hooked to them.

Nothing different compared to a stock engine. Just because it’s making more power through using parts with a much more advanced technology compared to tech that was available in the 40’s, 50’s and 60’s, doesn’t mean it’s more prone to fire. Mine has a fire extinguisher mounted under the dash, and I keep up with regular maintenance.

I like the bug a lot. I really am NOT a fan of lowering the suspension on something that is supposed to be a daily driver kind of car. Show car? Absolutely, but a car that is expected to navigate roads in TX, especially ones with possible potholes and or speed bumps? No thanks. Just my opinion and yeah I know everybody's got one. You buddy over there got a Karmen Ghia in as good a shape as that bug?? I'd be all over it especially with a decent (not outrageous like 200+ HP) power upgrade. That bug must have been sold beforehand since it isn't in the inventory and doesn't show on the previously sold.
