> Hi, > > I have a 1973 Squareback 1600cc stock dual carbs. I am > thinking rebuilding the engine to 1776 or stay with > stock 1600cc. Youll lose 30% of your engine life with 1776... its pushing the limit if you want to remain in the longevity and reliability of a stocker without a stroker crank. Youll never pull a Boat with a 1776 without it overheating. > > I have been looking at web sites for rebuilding engine > and most of them are in west coast. I live in New York > city area.

Hope you guys can help me out. > > 1) I am thinking to get 1776cc with dual stock carbs. > Will it works fine with it? Carbs are not stock on a 73 Square in the US. But the solex's from the early cars will work if rejetted properly, it will take alot of fiddeling and the chokes will never track properly. ------------------------------------------------------------------- List info at http://www.vwtype3.org/list | mailto:gregm@vwtype3.org
