VW Bus with Porsche 911 Power
Can anyone point me in the right direction to learn about how/if this can be done? For my next project I am considering a 50's early 60's westie.
Thanks, James

JWW's was a 3.2 / webers / 915 and if I remember correctly his had a 911 steering rack in there too.
On what it did - as he put it "no more of this never get behind a VW bus crap..."
