Lunar240z Posted November 24, 2006 Share Posted November 24, 2006 thanks a lot for posting that engine adapter site. I was looking for something like that because I've got a '57 oval that i plan on chopping the top on and doing an early ford front end coversion on. like this http://www.socalook.com/gallery.shtml i thought it would be so cool too see an old flathead V8 peeking out the back to keep with the rat rod theme.

Guest saltyslug Posted November 24, 2006 Share Posted November 24, 2006 that baja looks awfully familiar........wait a second thats the same dang one in my garage. here ya go if you wanna hear it and see it go. I am still running stock boost but have a major leak so I dunno if its even buildin pressure to well even with the gauge. the tranny is a 3 rib and still stock. the ecu is factory and holding up well under heavy vibration so far. I haven't even checked the codes it runs so well. I do have a wideband so I can watch how she does. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OlderThanMe Posted November 24, 2006 Author Share Posted November 24, 2006 There are a bunch of hotrod VW guys out there now... kennedy clutches makes adapters for like 100 motors onto a vw tranny. The flathead would be Uber cool... Salty! cool... what are you doing for exhaust on that puppy? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
veritech-z Posted November 24, 2006 Share Posted November 24, 2006 Fisher Buggies is a local V-dub shop here in Tampa that has a lot of that cool stuff. I know they were selling rotary trans adapters and so on. www.fisherbuggies.com this is from their photo gallery, a new beetle, but you should be able to tell why I posted it: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest saltyslug Posted November 24, 2006 Share Posted November 24, 2006 exhaust is a 3in u bend cut in half and turned. the whole exhaust is about 1 1/2 ft long. sounds great at idle it is very tame, hit the roller pedal and its all over.
