I posted this to the Type 4rum, so delete it if you've read it.... I just got back from the shop, and I get the square tomorrow. I will be driving the best beast on the road. Everyone who comes into the shop thinks this bad @%% conversion is da bomb! "Dude, he's got a what?!? in there? 2.3 what?!?! and sway bars?!? That's gonna rock!" is commonly heard by the guys doing the work. I've already gotten another customer bit by the bug. He just bought a 914 engine for his beetle. And the shop owner keeps showing my beast off to everyone. It just barely fits. I'm gonna have to cut the air cleaner element down a bit to make it fit for now. For now. I will change it. Then I will track someone down with a welder and drop the drive line 1/2" or less. That close, I tell ya. Any San Jose fellas want to check it out and help me with the welding? email me at: steveglavas@email.com <mailto:steveglavas@email.com> I don't know for certain, but I think Webers are taller than Dells. Anyone care to enlighten me? The stock fill tube on a bus CAN be welded to a stock T3 oil fill tube to allow STOCK OIL CHECKING/FILLING!!!! A bit frankenstein... ...but I haven't done it yet. I will need to go junk yard hopping and find a welding buddy. I repeat, it *is* possible. This machine is nice and quiet, amazingly enough. I can't wait to drive it!
