My 54 Beetle's Steroid 36hp.....now running!
So its finally on the road, my 36hp steroid motor is ALIVE !!! The motor was built by in 2002 but I have not been able to drive the car until now.
I'm amazed at how well a modified 36hp motor drives....... a lot more grunt than standard :thumb

I tried to have it modified to what would have been done in the 50's
Heads= Bigger ports with larger valves, standard rockers
Compression= Raised !
Crank= Eight dowelled and fully balanced
Conrods=Standard, Balanced
Cam= Tighe Cam 37/68 grind , bolted with modified lifters/pushrods
Oil pump= 30mm H/duty and anti surge sump.
Carbs=Twin 28pci with custom linkages.
Electrics=009 dizzy (Does NOT have a flat spot !)
Exhaust=Modified and ceramic coated
All new bearings, rings, gaskets/seals and new clutch.
As for lasting...............well as long as I keep the revs below 5000rpm it should be fine !

Probably 38hp !!!!!!!!!!!:P
It feels more potent than my 1968 single port 1500, so probably around 45-50hp.

The crank is balanced just not counterweighted. The quality of the steel in 36hp cranks is not as good as the later, so they tend to crack quicker if
you give them heaps.:cry
