did you buy the whole engine? from jc whitney? becouse you can buy a dual carb engine (not sure which size) for $5,000 some dollars. its the biggest engine you can fit into a bug tho.

I actually got it from Gene burg, this is a 1776 cc enging, You can definately go bigger. It definately was a hard time getting the engine in. We had to put the carbs on after and drill a few small holes in the wheel wells to adjust the carbs. No other choice....

@duanekeats Don't you hate that about doing adjustments?

I just have to say that a 1776 is a good motor. a 110 cam is not much bigger than a 120..just go with a 125.

But you better have a good set of rods and everything built good inside that motor for a 125 cam! If you really want some power..save some money and get a stroker kit. like a 2007 cc , 2110 or a 2276. If you go any bigger you will have to mod the engine tin and the engine compartment.

There's a lot to be done to get a type 4 engine into a bug. The tinware all has to be changed and thats no small feat and then there's the flywheel. I was looking into this myself. There is nice power to be had from a type 4 engine, sure, but parts are serious money and you'd build a serious type 1 motor for the same money. As for porsche 3 litres, they're 6 cylinders aren't they? I dont ever remember a Type 4 2.8 or 3 litre. The only type 4 motors Ive seen are 1.7, 1.8 and 2.0.

@Bladeserpent bigger than 69mm crank = not 1776...

what can I get for $0.00

[Bladeserpent]

Also what i was saying on what you put in it. You can reach up to 140hp with a 1776cc engine. But if you want a good 90hp or so, go for 044 Heads, 74 or 84mm counterweight/forged 8 doweled crank, w120 cam, lightened flywheel, and have everything balanced. Another route is going bigger, 1914cc, 2110, or 2332. All depends on buggets

wow, thats an entire 1200cc's worth of HP more, lol.
