Rod loves that engine he said the torque is unbaleivable

Mark Herbert was a massive fan of this size engine too, the Quaife diff video (link below) is him with his 2276. Isnt this the largest size engine you can get with out having to cut the tin ware aswell?

Would love to have this combo in my 63 beetle

Here are some pic's of the engine , ROD.

The engine has a clutch supplied , however I need to know early or late thrust bearing first , ROD .

Does this make 172 HP Rod ? Shit, I've gotta know how you do that !! Mines about 40 short!

137hp was at the wheels Craig. I've driven this same motor in rod's 76 beetle, it really is a great combo, goes hard but it's as well behaved as a stocker.

Yep, that's exactly the point I was making to DakDak67..... its 137hp atw (chassis dyno) as stated by Rod in the original post

whats the trade in on a 1600tp worth lol??

Cool, sounds tough. They're nice figures for a 2276 that will last.
