Re: Craigslist Find: A Snotty, Ratty VW Bug
A 1915 isn't bad, but it is definitely NOT a stroker. 69mm is stock stroke.
A 1915 is 94mm pistons/cylinders, which is a large as you can go on the bore for a stock type 1 engine case.
Heads are really kind of tame as well. I'm sure they flow good for stock castings, but there are far better out there.
Probably worth the money though.....

Re: Craigslist Find: A Snotty, Ratty VW Bug
I could guess the aftermarket engine parts make it worth it.
I cannot do these things local. I would if I could. ;D
I wonder what front mounting an aircooled to a subaru would do. They got a plate for sube to vw... must be something the other way around. :

A real snotty VW would probably tear your sube in half lengthwise. ;D
Just kidding, sube engines are pretty cool in their own right.

Re: Craigslist Find: A Snotty, Ratty VW Bug
Hate to sound negative on my very first post on Bangshift, but knowing a thing or two about fast VWs, this car "may" be a good buy based on the stuff it has, but one needs to be aware that it would require substantial money and work input for serious performance. The 4.37 ring & pinion is the weakest there is and won't hold up with serious HP and sticky tires.
It might be good for a weekend bracket beater as long as one would be happy with 13-14 second ETs
On the other hand, it could be a real money pit too. I once thought i could race cheaply with a VW.
It all depends on one's goals I reckon

3 photos in the dark, and one where it appears to be broken down on the expressway. Still, it would be a riot on cruise night.Comment
