One thing that strikes me is that building a new larger engine will involve a long process of working over the carbs to get them to work just right with the new engine. It is not a simple matter of just slapping together some parts. Even if you get someone else to rebuild the engine you will DEFINITELY spend a few months to a year or so of your own time learning about carbs and getting them all worked out. If you're willing to do this, then I suggest that you might also be willing to build your own engine. There are certainly a few good builders out there, but it's important to understand that NOBODY cares as much about your car as YOU do. -- ******************************* Jim Adney, jadney@vwtype3.org Madison, Wisconsin, USA ******************************* ------------------------------------------------------------------- List info at http://www.vwtype3.org/list | mailto:gregm@vwtype3.org
