project 1915cc stormer

 This might be the smallest vw engine in my place for the moment. 

we got the engine running, but the carb leaked some, so we have to get a new one.

and the engine tins also, and a better muffler too. 

i got the ghia also back to the garage.

Stroker to the panel? Or 2 the vert ghia?

Its hard to decide, which one would be funnier? The panel van goes like the wind, easily, but its not the one that you would like to drive 150 km/h for long...
It would need a red9 fronaxle or something similar... But in the twisty roads its fun, maybe 2 much fun...the fun part would be stopped pretty fast with a 160 hp or so... So what about a 84x94 stroker in a patina ghia vert? That would be fun? ... But the ghias tend to go pretty well even with a 1300 cc... And are fun to drive... Ok, i could try it in that ghia... First. With stock brakes, stock box etc...

But it would be pretty light... So it should be fast aswell! And if these will suck... Then the engine could go to the porsche 912. That would not suck at all...

Some basic info of the engine:
Scat 84 mm
Scat rods porsche bearings
Fk8 cam + straight cut gears
New stroker block from paruzzi
Aa-perf 94 pistons and barrels
Superflows with 48/38 valves
Pauter 1:3 roller rockers
Msd distributor
Carbs or 48 ida throttle bores...
Or a turboset... Will see...

Breaking the bus ;-)

Well only a bit... The inspector wasnt happy with the non braking emergencybrake... So nothing helps but cleaning the parts. Otherwise they seems to work

Stay cool, check your hose!

Had to change the fuel line, because there seemed to be some extra gas in the enginebay, so now its the correct time to check the fuel lines, before the summer gets hot. :-) its so uncool to get your v-dub burned to a crisp...

(I bought 1.5 meters of gates fuel hose,)

Smack my b..us up!

There you have it, this was totally my own fault, reversed the car with a trailer with a ghia on top of that, and smacked tha panelvan!!!! :-( ... Made totally my day... Ok, i know the van is not a show winner trailer queen, but still.... Aargh! Maybe he wants to go back to kangasniemi before the snow...
