Hot Rod VW motor
I need a hot rod motor for a dune buggy. Anybody know the right source?
Would like a plug and play deal. Money not an issue but must work perfect

I have heard bad things about GEX. I used to build my own. Turnkey may be tough to come by.

If money isn't an object maybe FAT performance or Clyde Berg.
Not crazy about MOFOCO. If it was me and I had a healthy budget I'd do an GM Ecotec conversion. 250lbs (dry), performance crate engines, turbo. A lot of buggy guys used them. Ask over on the samba.
