Freaking this is sweet. what did you do to the undercarriage. what lift did you install? what size tires does it have? this is one bad ass bug. ***** I have a 72. I also have a TJ. I would love to see your baby on the trail. money well spent. fun times. (O O) OlllllllO :)
The 4.3 is basically a 350 sb minus two cylinders the accessory drive will fit the engine will bolt right down to a power glide ( 700 r, turbo400, 350 )That is why they are popular in pickups and Astro Vans some full size vans .Stock they put out 200 hp with a hand comp you could boost em to 225 with a new chip the biggest gain I heard of was 305. Small block is better though .Big block is best more torque

Ok I keep reading comments about a V8 in a beetle on here one problem... read the description its a 4.3 L Chevy, its a V6. Stupid people cant you read yet?
@adamslurch71 No, the beetle now has a V8 in it. I originally had a 4.3 V6 in it. Now it has a Gen III 5.3 liter drive-by-wire small block V8 in it. If you look at my more recent videos you'll see the current V8 setup.
They evidently made a 4x4 beetle called the comanderwagon or something during or after ww2, isnt it massively heavy on rear?
or have u put engine in front of rear axle, if not how come it doesnt turn everything backwards or are the diffs upside down/different way round if u see what I mean?
yes it was the type 87 Kommanderwagen. They only made around 600 of them, but sadly all but 2 or 3 (I think) were destroyed when the vw factory was bombed. Yes the engine is still in the rear...the diffs are upside down. Yes its heavy in the rear....but isnt a front-engined car heavy in the front as well...??
kind of, but in front engined v8's the engine is about level with centreline of front wheels, but I see ur point.
would have been good if u could have sacrificed rear seats and had it with engine just in front of rear wheel centreline and gearbox behind centreline like an f1 car etc.
no you fucking retard, all the real (2 or 3 remaining??) Kommandeurwagens are in museums in Germany. There is probably no price on them because they are so rare/valuable. Mine that I put a V8 in and made 4x4 is just a regular old beetle just like the millions of other beetles out there. You're a moron.......
I want it!!! If i were rich i would pay u muuuch money to build ne for me!!! U JUST WAIT A LIL BROTHER ILL GET RICH in fev years and send u a pm in this matter. See u soon!!!!!...

The engine IS mostly in front of the rear axle; there is no back seat. I guess its more of a "mid" engine than a true rear engine...
penguin1494 2 years ago
thats what I did...there are no rear seats...the engine is forward of the rear axle...
