Bob I admire your work so I'm going to irritate you with an argument.
I wish someone would post a concise guide to a style of VW conversion
that is durable and simple. have never seen one that had the tests of
time behind it. 1600 or 1835cc for preference.

Dear Stealth,

Allow me to share with you something I just saw on the internet. Some
old geezer said:

"As far back as Rockford, at least three builders of converted VW's
appealed to Pope Paul to use the EAA's bully pulpit for educating
homebuilders about the realities of automobile engine conversions. At
least two of us (me and Ted Barker) even offered to provide the
required torque-stand. But the EAA was (and is) more interested in
selling tent-space and full-page ads than in contributing to the basic
store of USEFUL homebuilt information."

Ain't that a hoot? Stupid ol' fool actually thought the EAA was about
doing something USEFUL, like, mebbe, what you said up there at the
top.
