So sue me....it's fiberglass, it's VW powered, BUT it IS Fuel Injected, Turbo'd and looks like a Por-sha.....

It needs a flat six. Then come back and talk to us! :D

Seriously, that is a sweet looking ride and looks like a ton of fun!

A six won't fit.....I can barely shoe horn this in.....

I DO have a a 2.2 in my 65, 356....

Mike:

I saw a speedster replica at the local "toy store" with a 3.2. Hence there must be a way to do it. They were asking over 30k. :( It was fully prepped for the track. That must be a hoot! I would love to have one to toy around in. :D

George

Well....it could be yours....%^B

I really have room/time/energy for only two P-cars. This one or the real 356 with the six in it are gonna go up for sale.

Very cool!!! ou have room to drop an IC for improved efficiency...

Totally awesome!

What's with that side cover?

Keeps the diff from shifting and blowing out the side.

There was a thread on the same subject with 915s awhile ago....early ones had some issues and the later ones had beefed up ones.

Crap....sent the wrong tranny/engine mounts...I'm done.

Yes, I've seen the early/late stock side covers. But that one looks like it was machined (?) Did you make it yourself? Or where did you get it?

Also what model # trans or year trans are you using?

Thx.

73 IRS Super Beetle.

Got the trans side cover from 1-866-VWSTUFF.

Machined billet aluminum...
