I want to use it as a daily so no wild fuel guzzling carbs and something with enought tourqe to pull a snall boat out of the water but enough top end
to cruise at 110-120kms without being super loud. And i wanna be able to do some burnouts. And must have straight cut gears, love that wine.
Cheers, if this isnt in the right spot please move it.

Hi Josh,
some big asks there....
Firstly, I would not spend all that money on parts and then maybe assembly it incorrectly... or one part incorrectly.. like oil pickup etc.. Best to
buy one from an expert engine builder..
Burn outs require some horsepower so probably a 1776 engine would do the trick... or larger and more expensive..
but remember, that once You move away from a 1600 standard engine , everything gets very expensive the larger You go....
and soon doubles or triples in price... and will probably use a lot of fuel...
I am happy with My 1600 single port engine even though it has the semi auto gearbox and no clutch pedal.. lol
single Brasilan weber carby.. Genie extractor exhaust system.
165 x 15 tyres..
I can only spin the wheels on gravel or grass... lol
but I can drive out on the highway at 120kmh ...
[but only between the hours of 2am and 4am... lol ,
so I'm told...  ]
late Super beetle gearboxes have a higher diff ratio etc.. so they are used for highway cars usually... but a lower diff ratio will give You better
acceleration... You need to pick one??
Lower diff ratio means higher RPM at highway speeds..
check out a few of the advertisers in VWMA magazine...
like Gary at VW classic volkswagen at Kirawee in NSW
http://www.veedubclassic.com.au 0295215333
there are plenty of others in the Magazine too...
cheers
LEE

If building a streetable 1916, are there any other parts outside of the motor that need to be beefed up?

Comes down to how you drive, but I would cetainly upgrade the way the gearbox is mounted as a min. Look at using quality gearbox mounts, a bellhousing
strap of some kind and a 'mid mount' to support the gearbox. If you intend to use tyres with good grip, then you should also fit a K Bar kit for
reinforcing the forks and also a tramp bar kit as the better tyres will cause "tramping" on launching away from lights etc
Make sure the gearbox is in good condition, and if you intend to do drag starts or you're aggresive with launches then I would fit a super diff.
As for brakes, make sure you have discs fitted up front if the car is an early model.
Depending on the HP level of the motor you will also need larger fuel lines and an electric fuel pump and regulator.

actually the later boxes have a lower diff ratio lee.
when they went from the double side plate to single side plate they went from 4.125 to 3.88

Hey Barls
 3.88 is a taller ratio than 4.125

The part hardly anyone seems to realize though is at the same time they dropped 4th gear back from 0.89 to 0.92 to compensate for the diff change.
I've had both a 4.125 and a 3.88 box in my bug and the difference in 4th gear is only about 50rpm.
They both cruise almost bang on 3000rpm at 100km/h with stock size tyres.

microtech injection (or something similar) perhaps using injection perfection throttle bodies.
that would be the main parts used for the 1916 i would like to build.
should make good power and hopefully rev to 7500

One suggestion for you. Get yourself a stroker crank, say 76 or 78mm. If you are buying all that other great gear, may as well step it up a bit.
Besides, the heads sound like they can suck and blow heaps through those bigger ports. Forget the 1916, over 2.0 litres would be real nice.
