<x-charset Windows-1252>I located a reasonably-priced '66 Squareback I am thinking of buying as a daily driver. The previous owner blew the stock tranny and then installed a '70 Bug IRS setup and also welded in the IRS rear engine hanger. Other than that and a 12v conversion, it is relatively stock. Opinions? Anything I should check out because of the IRS swap? Everything appeared to be in order from a visual inspection, based on the little I know about the IRS setup. Does a '70 Bug tranny have the same gear and final ratio as an IRS Type 3 tranny? He said it does 85 mph all day so I figured it must be similar or identical.
