[T3] It's alive! and a sleeper...


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:

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!
