Well I've just about finished the new 1916.
Just waiting on the fan to come back from balancing and she'll fitted in the Speedster.:bounce
Two things that I hated....
1. Porting is the most boring job on the surface of the earth...followed by..
2. Tig welding up the fan...preheat-weld-preheat-weld etc...followed by 3 hrs in the furnace-up to 650deg and cool down for stress releaving.🙁 gezzzzz.
The orange thingy is an original 356 Framm filter (still need to repaint and add the new decals). The linkages in the rear were not a problem, there is a kit available for that. I wanted the filter so the linkages needed to be in the rear as the original 356.
The carbs are 44 IDFs.
Original 356 engines....
Thanks, looks a bit big for a fuel filter I spose, but then again I have a Racor fuel filter with a water seperator on the Kombi, and it would be close to the size of the fram you have, I have to say it looks pretty dam fine on your engine!
Dose the Framm filter add engine life?
Whats better the Framm or a full flow oil filter on a VW? I asume the framm uses gravity to return to the sump.
Also I love yer carbs supposidly I can get shorty manifolds to fit them into my type 3
what sort of performance are they going to offer you with you engine?
Thanks Nige
The Fram filter runs in a parallel circuit with the engine lubricating system. There is only a percentage of oil that passes thru the filter. The return is at the inlet pressure less the DP (differental pressure) across the filter cartrage. I will most likely run a consealed oil cooler, I'll wait and see what the temps are like.
Whats the performace I expect....hehehe I don't think I want to go into that one......I've seen the other posts!!!!!
But
The engine is .....
new AS41 case
94 P/C
counterweighted crank
Engle 120 cam
044 heads ported-3 angle valve seats
1.25 ratio rockers
8.5 CR
12.5 lb flywheel
44 IDFs
and other stuff!!!
Yeah you can get short manifolds for the type 3.
[Dasdubber...the kit came from Vintage Vee Dubb Supplies in Campsie, also check with our sponser.
I think they would look a very clean setup on a Beetle.]

Excellent Pete, I especially like the Engine bay.
Did you make a fancy alloy fan or just weld up the steel one for high rev security?
-
yes will be interesting to see how it goes.
I like your engine combination , should get the rear twitching.
