SOT: I have a problem... Options

[KaptKaos]

So my 914 is up on jackstands right now. Hopefully, not for too much longer. I picked up a 74 Capri (it's a basket case) for next to nothing, and it's sitting in the driveway. It's the next project. I have my brother-in-laws jeep in our driveway too. He says he's selling it, but I am not too sure. Then there is the mini-van and the jetta.

A guy I been chasing for about 2 years is finally getting ready to give me his 65 VW squareback. It hasn't run in a long time, but it looks ok. I haven't looked closely at it.

Anyone in SoCal have some space where I could "rest" the squareback for a little while? I don't want to pass on it, but I might have to (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif)

Let me know.

Thanks.

YUP.

The Capri had a 2.6 in the earlier cars and a 2.8 in the later cars.

The only issues that I remember is that the rods are weak as hell IF you over rev em.
And The cam gear goes South if you like spinning the engine up a lot.

In my 2.8 I had a cam, different rods and rod bolts, header, and an aftermarket cam gear. I think the cam gear and cam was made by Crown manufacturing.

The little sucker hauled ass for a little 6. That would of been in 1984.
Ahhhhh.. The good old days........
