Hi Folks,
Here is a picture of the engine I'm scraping up cash for. If you have any VW type1 hotrod buddies looking for parts, please show them my parts for sale page: http://allshops.org/cgi-bin/community/comm...d=9980142897618 Yes I'm coming over to the dark side...2.6 type 4 Motec fuel management TMW throttle bodies, Pauter internals etc. I plan to make a new fan shroud from aluminum. I think this will look pretty good in the back seat of my Ghia. Also an easy installation to the 901, has nice exhaust so I won't have to do a bunch more fabrication...besides all the surgery required to fit it all in the Ghia, that is.

John, have you considered the Berg 5-speed transmission?
The Berg 5 has some good options: (1) a choice in Berg shifters with 0%, 40%, or 60% reduction in shifter travel, and (2) the "locker option" which locks the car in Reverse when you park it.. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/cool_shades.gif) - Roger |

Hi Roger,
I'm going mid-engine, and have a rebuilt 901 from John Walker ...for less than a Berg unit anyway. Here are the stats as they are presented to me by the seller: Case: Porsche type4, modified for full flow oil, machined spot >faced the case to facilitate larger case bolts that fit great > >Heads: Porsche, big valve 48 intake 38 mm for the exhaust, berg >springs, ported and polished and matching manifolds, 1.48 Pauter >roller rockers, welded and relived valve covers. (i'd put CSP valve >covers but I don’t think they fit the rollers. > >Crank: Pauter, welded and cross flowed and stroked out to - 78MM and >hardened > >P&L: 103 mm Keith Black - Chevy 454 pistons with valve pockets > >High flow oil pump – setup for full flow > >Cam : webcamshafts - #86a specs are: >.435 lift times it by 1.48 rockers - .684 lift >290 advetised duration >252 duration at .050 lift off the cam >Strong mid range and top end for high performance mech. street >engines. Valve springs recommended > >Rods: Pauter 4340 Billet rods chrome moly - hardend > >Bernie bergamn shroud – rabbit alternator, Porsche fan (his design – >looks like a Porsche fan but of his design) > >Induction: TMW 45MM throttle bodies through itg filters > >Computer control – supplied by a Motec M4 with the advanced tuning >options, sequential injection, and distributor less ignition, 32bit >microprocessor – tunes the car 300 times a second, laptop >configurable > >Automotive exhaust pipes – stainless steel and slightly larger ID >than stock > >Muffler: triad “T”style glasspack , feeding two more glasspacks >and the exit are 4” tubes $6000 seems like a real good deal to me, only 1k on the engine...he's upgrading! He has over $12,000 into this one. Sorry no more pictures until I get the thing in the car, but first I have sell lots of stuff... John www.ghiaspecialties.com |

John,
I had fantasized about a mid-engine ghia in the past. In my dream - the decklid had been welded shut, and the whole back end flipped up like a 550. . . - but I reckon that the old engine compartment is actually big enough to be made into a trunk for storage. . . |
