Gentlemen,
Some years ago, April 98 to be precise, I bought a 2.6 L stroker kit from European racing, with a J Cam 307 Dur. The plan then was to put it into my 1303 Beetle, but things changed and i never did anything, but I did source some parts.
Those who have been following my British Rustoration thread can see that I still have a lot more work to do on the body but I think it might be time to start putting th lump together. Now I thought I had a 78 Stroke crank and 103 pistons so I should get a 2600, but on inspecting the pistons they say 104. This makes it 2650, I think it may be too big besides petrol is not free here like it is in the US.
The good news is my new Type 4 case looks ok, although I do not like the oil breather bit so some machining will be needed here. The case has a part number of 071101101 so it look like a late air-cooled case.
Plan is to go with a microsquirt system since carbs would need to be 45's which is more cash, might as well go modern-tech.
I will update this thread as things progress, please feel free to add comments or criticism .
