I have to ask about that Type 1 engine... Given the diameter of the headers and the size of the intake manifolds I'm guessing it's at least a 2.0-liter - details, please!

Years ago I had an 1835cc with an Engle 120 cam (.435" lift, 294 deg duration), 044 heads (40mm intake, 35.5mm exhaust valves), and a pair of Weber 48IDAs with velocity stacks and match-ported manifolds. At that point I ran out of money and had to use the 1-3/8" exhaust.

One of these years I will build another one and give it the 1.5" (or 1-5/8") exhaust it should have had.

Thank you Sir!
   The engine is a 2275 using 94 mm pistons and an 82 mm crank. An Engle 125 with 1.25 : 1 rockers giving about .550 lift at the valve. The heads are stage II wedge ports with 42 intake & 37 exhaust valves. 44 carbs  on match ported manifolds and 1 5/8 merged collector. Hoping for 150-160 HP in the buggy

Don't be ridiculous! It's only a flesh wound!

I too am a fan of the classic aircooled Bugs and it's flat 4 engine. Maybe because of my German bloodlines. Thanks for sharing the specs of your engine. Looks good!

Hell, yeah! That sounds like an excellent combination.

When it's ready, a dyno run or three would let you know what it's putting out...

That will take off like a "stabbed rat" in a lightwheight buggy 
 

I read that in James May's voice. The first time I ever heard that phrase was on UK Top Gear.

Looks like you keep drawing a blank on the attachment
I  cab click on the tiny download icon and download the video.  Then I can play it.  So the files are being uploaded.  It just looks like the embedded player isn't working.

yeah i'm not sure why its not working, was about to hit up steve west cuz he has no problems, but he uses youtube for his, i may follow suit if indeed the embedded player is not working

In the past few months I have picked up another hobby. I got real tried of waking up in the middle of the night because one or two of these critters decided to let go a huge blast of their stink glands!!!! I like to have my windows open at night when it cools off. Their stench will fill my whole house and wake me from a sound sleep. I trapped number ten last night. Once they fall asleep, I take them "for a ride" A nice long ride!!!

 
This one is the biggest one I have caught so far. 6 lbs. 12.5 oz.

1972 H2 750 Cafe Racer built in 1974.
1976 KH400 Production Road Racer.
1979 Kz1000 MK. II Old AMA/WERA Superbike.
1986 RG500G 2 stroke terror.
1986 GSXR750RG The one with the clutch that rattles!

Up in the hills near Prescott, Az.

How do you move them without getting sprayed?  Do you put a towel over cage?
I was catching squirrels under my diesel truck for a while because they liked to chew on the "soy oil" wiring harnesses underneath hood.  
I've taught a few how to "swim"   but stopped trapping them because I was afraid of catching a skunk!
