CB Performace screws you on postage and handling costs. I'll never order from them again. I use aircooled.net.

Based on the few photos of your yellow bug...it looks really clean.

I had a '68 back in the old days and I loved that car. I built a 1766cc and bought many of my parts from a place called Sebring West in Fresno. That place is still their but is now a Car Quest branch - still named Sebring West. I go ther from time-to-time and I see they have lots of VW stuff.

I also think there would be many online shops like VW Unlimited, Clauds Buggies, etc.. Even Jake Raby sells a lot of VW stuff albeit I think his specialty is Type IV motors but I know he has Type I stuff too.

Just my $0.02 worth.

4 bolts, 3 wires, 2 heater cables, and a throttle cable......on the ground.

Yep thats about it, The only problem I had was there is not much room to slide it back very far so the lower tranny studs would clear. I think I can have it all assembled exhaust and all then slide it right in?

yepper. the exhaust assy is a good handle.

No heater cables on mine... the heat exchangers were rotted out completely and I had also shiitcanned some of the tin. Mine were my first and second cars and were complete rust buckets..... That said, I loved them.

First car was a '64 that had been converted into a Baja Bug. Could pull the engine out in 2 1/2 minutes flat! Have had several others, including a '62 with a ragtop sunroof. Fun cars to work on and drive.

LOl, one of the few engines you can rebuild while stumbling drunk and it turns out the same ;)

Got all the parts just in time for the weekend rebuild. new P&C's lifters, valves, guides all gaskets, tubes, some extra tin, oil pump, bearings etc all for under $500 Damn these things are cheap to rebuild!!

Craig,
If you are using the same heads, have you checked for cracks? I remember cracking between the spark plug and one (or both) of the valves being common. There could be some micro cracks that will develop into macro cracks later on.

Well I got the case all together but ran into a problem with one head, it has a bad exhaust seat so now I have to order some next week and wait, wait, wait. I hate these heads, I prefer to rebuild the 911 heads but then that's what I am set up for. So in the meantime I am painting a bunch of tin to make it look real purdy.

Intake seat lookin' kinda bad there.

I think they mold the seats in place when they cast the heads. Now I know why they only get 60hp out of these things! The exhaust was so bad I could not even cut it clean but the others seem ok.

Not real excited about either of them! Course this is not a high output engine but still, do the best you can and make it right.

Got the heads done tonight, I was waiting for an exhaust seat that needed replacement, Don at Bug Patch shipped me one pdq. I put in all new guides, one new exhaust seat, valves and springs. Should have it back in the car this weekend!

Don't forget the choke cable!

One guy on each side to lift the car over the motor.

Easy breezy lemon squeezy.
