First of all what is a good engine case? i'm looking at building a 2300 liters or less. i heard it's a bad idea to have a reinforced #3 cylinder?
what should i be looking at for a performance case?
Try the new Aluminium case as they have a high roof area so as to fit a counter weighted crank easier
It also has a filled in section for the bore on number 3 cylinder when your boring the case out to take the larger barrels you need this area
filled in
Unless you find a new type manesium case dont bother trying to make a big capacity engine from an old case as it will cost you more in the long run
the Alloy case is slightly heavier than the Magnesium one but with the extra capacity you wont worry about the weight
Ally case................best $700 you will spend.
2300 litres? probly wont fit in a bug.. or even a kombi... maybe a cruise liner...
not to offend - but decide what you want. then research. read. then ask.

maybe a better question to ask would be - are there any popular links online for building a performance motor?
try http://www.aircooled.net/gnrlsite/resource/articles.htm

did my research best would be a stock case. i just got to make sure what i put in it all is compactible and set up properly. best cooling systerm at affordable price is the stock doghouse system.
best of luck 
The first thing to research is whether you have $5000+ in the bank - because that's at least what a well-built engine will cost
2300 litres... lol... i still dont think this will fit in a bug....

Buy an Alloy case other wise your gunna waste a lot of money
yes it will fit... well i would buy an alloy case if i can find one that hasn't been modified at th #3 cylinder.
Buy one off Mr Pobjoy.
He can do any machining on it that you need.

Are you poor?
yeah well ppl no fighting we all know i meant 1300cc right? hehe i'm goin through genberg. he is personaly helping me out (at a distance)
i mean 2300
gene berg is not personally helping you out
Why do you want a case that hasnt been modded at the No.3 cylinder?? That is the weak spot in the case. The new Aluminium cases have made a change to
fix this......
The $700 spent on a new case will save you $$$$
no he isn't but i like to think so. about the # 3 cylinder check out his website (gene berg) it really does make sence not too. save the money to put it in something more usefull.

come on people..stop being so harsh.
we all want berg to help us
i get the feeling he is talking about bergs documents posted on his site giving him the info he needs for an engine build.
P.S. Hilter helped me build my bug,. HAHA

hehe i hard to crack a joke in those forums but there are some pretty damn smart ppl.
anyway yes i have read his article which i got off someone online. (more than what's posted online on his site). all sounds really convinsing and
quite honestly i recon he makes lots of sence. why fix the effect when u can fix the problem?
anyway i recon i'll go berg to build my engine.
unless anyone else go a beeter place to go to around melbourne. How's that shop next to clayton road? i think it's wolksmen art? how are their
engines?
What compression ratio does berg suggest to run?
I had tea and bickies with Gene Berg this morning... :alien:
