Hi. I'm Tom from Ballwin (St.Louis) Missouri USA. I am new to this site. I have a 1969 Bug with a 2.0 914 engine that my son, and I built, when he was a senior in high school. He is now 40 years old. My other car is a Work in Progress. It is a 1969 Squareback, setting on a custom 2" x 3" chassis with a small block Chevy 350, 700R4 transmission, Mustang II front suspension and a narrowed 9"Ford, triangulated 4-bar rear end.

Welcome Tom. I don't know why they don't put the correct engine in cars in the factory! 🙄

Paul Newman stuck a 351 Ford V8 in his VW convertible.....50 years ago.

Cheers, Greg

I'd rather wear a Beetle out by racing it than by polishing it!

on your photobucket page - just click the link

It will say briefly "copied"

Then right click and paste in the message box on the forum

You can post as many pictures as you like

How did you guess? Also. When you go to make a reply on this forum, I cannot see where my cursor is pointing in the reply box. What do I do?
