@72vwbuggen It's aiorcooled, look where the generator is, Subi's alternator ismore centered. It's probably bored and stroked to a 3 liter and lotsa boost
@DonMills313 - I'm not sure, but the only major difference between the 60's and early 90's engines were the water cooled barrels, i belive they still used the same crankcase and heads
The crazy part is that it was then secound run the car ever done on the race track!!!! whit that VW engine. Then they had to go home and build a nother rollcage that have 2 bars... so we dident se them again that weekend :(
what a monster....

I am pretty sure its not aircooled... 850hp is a lot for a aircooled motor shit 400hp is a lot for aircooled motors to hold..
