Title: New Engine Finally Arrived....
Post by: Chris E. on March 06, 2008, 09:52:24 PM
Went down to Ship Happens and picked up my engine a couple of weeks ago. It took 4 months from order to installation. Anibal Chico builds a mean engine. Took it for burn for the first time today, and it was awesome.


The stats

Not super flashy but hauls ass!

It's been 10 years since I sold my last bug, so this is gonna be a good summer, maybe I'll be able to join in on some of the VW fun as a participant and not just a spectator this year.

Nice flat torque curve,  will be a good  driver for sure.  I like the fact that the stock fuel pump is being used.  What size valves are in the heads 40 x 35?

That picture looks like a stock engine with nice carbs. Similar to my litle engine but, with a heck of a lot of horses behind it.

Look forward to it. :D

An engine like that from Anibal would run ~$4,400 or so I think exchange... +/- a bit if any upgrades....
