Like i got the bug part... i don't get the built motor and the chop top and i dunno.. everything after the bug just lost me

[Megaseth]

hehe, sorry. the older "doghouse" air cooled Vee-Dub motors were pretty darn good for what they were. you could bore them out a little, change the heads and make it a 2.2L motor for piss cheap. you can get dual carbs, and some other goodies to make them really damn powerful for the size. i've even seen turbos and N20 kits for them. and the chopped top part, exactly what it sounds like. chop the top down and lower the roof line so it has a more agressive look. and the little buggers are quick with little hp. i saw one for sale that made only 240hp, but it was running 9s with no problems. 180 hp is good for 11's and 12's, maybe quicker.

why go through ALL that trouble when a porsche 911 turbo motor will fit in there

[Megaseth]

haha, true. i saw an old kit car that looked kinda like an old porsche Le Mans car that had a Porsche motor in it. and yes, it would make a better swap with less work.

I buddy of mine had one back in the day when he was in highschool and he said he won every race in that car until one guy in a grand national rolled up with his slicks screwed down on his rims and wanted to race
