hi all i got a beetle i think the guy that owned it could be on the forum,its a 68 model,anyway its a 2.1 wasserboxer converted to air cooled,sounds very nice smooth etc,just want to know what size piston they may have used its type 1 heads,not kombi,be good for some info on whats done to this engine,
has kadrons 009 with electronic,would running webers or delortos be better option,also its running a manual fuel pump,
this is next project,thats why the notch is up for sale,,
cheers

2.1 wassers had 94mm pistons

Think this is why they were a candidate for an air cooled conversion

I will be amazed if it is anything else

thanks barry,its what i thought it was,very nice smooth engine,would it cost alot to do the conversion from water to aircooled..

I think there is a fair amount of machining
The air cooled barrels sit further in or something

LOTS of info here

Try and contact Keith Hausler(sp???) or Hellbug
They should be able to provide info
Maybe even Dave Becker
