Aircooled VW South Africa

Too early for late night still?

never too late for this thread

Got a bit of good luck today. I am buying blitz's fasty engine at the end of December.

It'll run fine in the Bus, just need to get a flywheel for it, will change the manifolds too for the longer Bus ones

Got the wbx flywheel and a set of bus manifolds so no problem.

When is the next KKKAK CAMP-OUT on Lindequesdrift?

The annual KKK Gathering is from 18 - 20 February next year, don't miss it!

Ricky got a 1800 bus box working condition for R7K let me know if you are interested I bought it as it has the stronger 3de and 4th gears in the box for my racing Bus box that is going in my Flag buggy but have organized different ratios that I am going to use
This specific box type is quite scares with the uprated gears

Thanks for the offer Pierre,but Iam sorted with a gearbox. And got a type 4 engine from Ralph in Pietersburg.Will be taking the engine from Blitz as well. I heard type4 engines are prone to drop valve guides.How true is this?

Did you get a running engine?

Yep so whoever recons your type 4 heads better know what he is doing fitting new seats if needed

Howdy Blitz

Good and yourself? How's things going?
