need your imput fellas. found this for 300 bucks , has good compression only rusted parts are exhaust and clutch. its suppose to be a 2000cc. guy seemed pretty knowlegeable
can i use it /?

thats what i like,give me address and i'll show you mine.they are all heavy duty 1700,1800,2000 there is no weak ones,learning computer and have pictures on my hotmail.richard

my address is hauser2169@aol.com
it had fuel injection, i was told a carb is better for woods? that true, if so i need to find a computer mod. so this motor will work pretty well. anything major i need to do to it.?

i saw a guy post a cooling kit last week from michigan{type4}here,I have dual dellorto36drl"son mine with headers.turboblue is working on my turbokit now and those parts will be available at the brother price to this site.my engine runs very well with 53k original miles yours looks from heads to be a76or 77 2000cc.number is on block between vent and pully.there is usually carbon caked on intake vaulves and a revlimit rotor in distr.factory fuel injection is not so good off pavement ,richard

stingrayrat i tore apart my motor somewhat. i was lookin at your pics and i only have two pulleys. or is there an aftermarket pulley kit out there somewhere? i want to take off the heater housing im guessing to loose weight? but the alternator is mounted to that. has anyone figured out a solution to mounting?

mine is a 427 chevy billit for powersteering,get that bracket and shroud from{fox shocks]in zeeland michigan.pully can be bought on samba vw for about 60,its easy to use t1 alt and fan.my engine fan is overdriven slightly because of pully,runs very cool under 3k.mine is overengineered and not the easy way,i had the tools handy and time ,materials were free.i ran stock cooling to test drive for 3 months.if you can post pictures of mine and i"ll describe changes.first get some[ pb blaster]solvent working on exhaust nuts for a week,at the head it's cridical not to unscrew studs.....very rough fix because of location.i will swap my headers for those exhaust parts if still good.richard

i'm about an hour and 10min from cinncy off interstate74 in rushville ind46173 you want to check it out and I"ll show you my mock up 1700 sunday.richard

Well I would like to sell you an upright shroud, but the only 1 I have right now would be the black 1. I can how ever sell you a generator stand. I'm working on a Alternator stand. I bought the Joe Cali conversion book. It tells how to use the 36hp Dog House fan shroud and 2 sets of head tins. It is a good book to get if anyone is thinking about doing this conversion. Thanks Dave T

i've got tin in mint condition that with his whould do the job,these engines are underappreciated in midwest.made mine out of aluminum with fiberglass head pieces,broke plaster mould removing parts.richard

They must be easier to cool than you think,,my Dad has no tins at all just a fan blowing down on open fins,,,like a motor cycle,,,plus oil cooler. He don't ride much anymore but he still has his buggy. I will get some pics soon.

If your clutch ain't slippin,, you probably got it adjusted right!!!!!

how much more cooling do you get with the upright over stock....is the stock cooling system sufficient or is that a big negative... the reason im asking is that i have a 2000cc stock bottom end,except cam, worked heads 50mm in., 40mm ex. ported, and have a s/c to put on it and it would make it so much easier with stock cooling.

stock cooling is dependent on a perfect thermostat with engine warm before vigous driving.my tailbone has taken a few shots smashing stock cooling into earth.upright is not better,just more rail freindly,the porche 911 fan for under 2.5 liters is a step backwards imho.richard

k so i got a tranny,, but will only a bus tranny work on this bus motor. i think its a low gear tranny from a car

have had one in my buggy all summer. running stock computer and cooling set up with remote oil cooler. have no real complaints! have not even had to change one spark plug and no problems on hills. pulls like a tractor and sounds like one too! have heard rumors about a 45hp computer chip but never looked into it

Mornin' You can use a car trans if you machine the center of your 210 or 215mm flywheel to accept the pilot bearing that is in the Gland nut from a type 1. You must pull the old pilot bearing out of the crank shaft, then when the new 1 is fitted to the flywheel it must sit flush on the clutch side and then it will stick out the crank shaft side and some of it will fit back into the crank. The 228mm flywheel is by my understanding too large to clear the inside of the trans bell housing... I'll be watching this build. Thanks Dave T

thanks for the repply foxshox. im goin to give it a try this weekend. im still reading and searching around for more info about these vdubs. i looked on google for pics of the bus engine, like mine.. i cant find nothing. what kind of engine is this? i finally got money to buy carbs, maybe a bus tranny and some other goodys but i need to know what i got my self into. i know its a 2000cc dual port, but i dont know what exactly it is. all the pics i see are with the alternator belt going straight up off the fan, mine goes to the side??

Hey hauser2169, I'm sending you a P.M. with my PH# Also you will have to look up the engine 3 to see what you have.. your engine is in stock form right now.. Thanks Dave T

kk just got some cash, im gettin ready to go buy a 002 3 rib bus tranny for 300. and where are the numbers on the block to tell me what kind of engine i got, pretty sure its a type3? also i been reading, people say that the type 3's arent good for buggys? true?

Looking at your pic it is a type 2/4 engine. The engine codes should be either at the breather tower or close to the bell housing area on the case half... Also you have PM Thanks Dave T
