Same as any other Beetle, just a better single port engine!

probably nothing really special to get, just get what you can!

70's 1300Tp are great donor cars. They have the best donor engines for performance engines, because they have the duel relief cases (same as 1600) but are lower HP, so they are less stressed !

They also have the 4.37 diff ratio in a 12v gearbox, great for street racing 😀

If you find one of these go for it:thumb

a good gearbox is always a bonus.
also front and rear clips.
