Tanks
There s a "small" problem with m'y gearbox ...it s dead so Icould must report the swap.
For the moment I m on the sump, cut the oil sucker,sels and modify the Cosworth baffle
Pics tonight

[southcoastcruiser]

so I must cut a little bit the baffle


the sucker too

[southcoastcruiser]

the cut sucker


The problem with my gearbox is closed, I 've bougth another one, aluminium case ( more stronger) more longer (8 x 31)
the max speed at 6000 rpm with 205/50/17 is 140 mph


great for me , not for the police

just for fun


in France when you put a sub engine into an lawn mower VW , everyone thrown you of the stones ( I don't know if it's the good words)



so , I prepare a secret project.....And I found that one of my friend thought about that in secret too cause I love them....

( this pics is one of my friend , who's put an EJ 20 + all the trans into a superbeetle )

JESUS !!!!!!
