You can't build up a souped-up engine until you know how to do a GOOD stock rebuild. Start with this manual: Volkswagen Official Service Manual Type 3 Fastback and Squareback 1968-1973 published by Robert Bentley, Cambridge, Mass, 1974 ISBN 0-8376-0057-X / LPV 997 383 / VSQU (excellent book, complete and well written) Then read this one: How to Hotrod Volkswagen Engines by Bill Fisher published by H. P. Books, Tucson, AZ, 1970 ISBN 0-912656-03-4 (excellent book, well written and researched) Then read Gene Berg's catalog. Then ask questions here. In general, I recommend that you NOT read any of the VW magazines. They tend to be filled with bad advice and advertisements for bad parts. You should avoid engine parts bought from JCWhitney. - ******************************* Jim Adney, jadney@vwtype3.org Madison, Wisconsin, USA ******************************* ------------------------------------------------ To unsubscribe, E-mail to: <type3-off@vwtype3.org> For more help, see http://vwtype3.org/list/
