Well folks is has been over four years in the making. The set-backs include Ron Grider's (engine builder) hart problems, shithead’s mess (for those who don't know Stromburg) and last but not least the tunning of the furl injection. a great learning experience. Last but not least my own indecisions of what I wants the end results to be. After all is said and done this has been one of the most gratifying experience I have had.

To the guys that made it possible to climb over all the hills Ron Grider who built the engine and limited my changes along the way. Jake Raby for the guidance and getting me the RIGHT parts like the valve lifter assembly, heads, cam and etc.. Steve at VW Performance here in Phoenix for the machining of the cylinders and balancing job. Mack Freston Emerald Fuel Injection fly into Phoenix from Miami to take care of problems with the ECU and countless hours on the phone. Dave Gallipaeu who did the body, paint and repaired the rust problems.

It means all he does now is general maintenance (oil change + valve adjust) and tires. Maybe plugs in 60k miles laugh.gif

Nice job. Thanks for sharing with us.

"what are the hoses going into the top of the carbs? " Do you have the fuel tank venting, and the crankcase venting going there?

Thanks, JoeO

I am running 45mm Jenvey throttle bodies. Yep, the hoses to the tops are venting the fuel tank and crankcase.
