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! :rolleyes:

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

Cheers, Greg

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?
