a newbie from the dirty south
my name is alex. i am a long time member of MIAMI V-DUBS club down in miami. i own two vw's. both 1966's. a beetle with a crappy 1776cc and a westfalia SO42 which is in the works. i know a few of the guys on here from florida, all cool in my book. i will get some pics up of my bug soon.

Like those wheels. So tell us more about the 1776? Is there a stock or a built trans in there. I been trying to get my 1776 into the 15's for a while.

So at 9.5 can you drive it or does it run hot? Mine is very close but only 8.5 with a 110 cam and 1.25 rockers and a 67 trans. Thanks for the info.

i run premium 93 always. was running a little warm so i added the oil cooler and took off the decklid. i will be putting back the decklid soon wth offset brackets. btw i drove it up to bugjam weekend which was about 800miles for the weekend and had zero issues.Cave Man wrote:So at 9.5 can you drive it or does it run hot?
