Has a 2275cc motor with dual 40mm carbs.
EMPI ceramic coated exhaust and fat boy muffler.
Stage III clutch and pressure plate. All poly engine mounts. The motor was built by JCS out of California and installed along with tranny by me.
Very nice. How will the box cope with all that power. I always wanted to something like this ( I have 60 sunroof beetle which needs a rebuild and have a type 3 IRS rear end that I will scavenge to turn the beetle into an IRS rear end. Motor in parts has a 74mm counterweight crank and think displacement will be 1900cc. Old school bug spray central twin barrel carb. Long term project which I won't start for many years to come. plenty of parts but no time.
The transmission was just a rebuilt stock tranny and it has handled the power quite well so far. But I do not get on it hard too often. But it does top out too quick. I need to get a tranny with higher gear ratio. It hits about 100mph really quick but the tranny cant handle any more, so I don't push the envelope.

I believe type 3 1600cc swing axle gearbox has higher ratio gears. You just need to swap swing axles out to your beetle ones.

I have owned it for a little over 9 years now. I got this for my 10 year anniversary gift and my wife got a $6000 diamond ring. LOL
