1776 twin webers...any good?
Gday guys I am new to the world of vw's so I haven't played around with these motors yet.
I have a motor that I may fit to my early bug just wandering what sort of power and drivability?
1600 tp
now 1776 mahle 90.5 pistons/barrels
69mm counterweighted crank.
041 heads no porting
comp 9.21.1
wade cam 149a
twin 44 webers
What do you guys think of these specs?
Cheers

Never heard of Wade Cams - but that is obviously my ignorance
http://www.wadecams.com/index.html
Seems like interesting stuff
CW crank is good
44's seem big??
041's and not the first choice these days but still not bad if they are not cracked
Fire it up 
See what it does

Friend of mine ran a very similar setup in the late 90's, not sure on the cam, but he ran an Engle 110. Stock unported 041's, but running 40's
instead of your 44's. Managed a 15.7 sec. quarter mile with it and the best bit is its still going strong now in another guys daily driven bug. I've
driven it and its a really nice engine for a driver.
What venturis & jetting are yuo running in those weber's?
You won't be disappointed anyway, great little engines....

You will be able to run the 44's if you use a set of 28mm venturies on that size engine,they are not made for the 44's as a off the shelf size with
the smallest size being a 32mm vent. i machined a set for my 44's and they work perfectly,i have seen them advertised on the samba for about $80 a
set. keep the 44's so you can enlarge the engine at a latter date and the carb's can just be ajusted to suit, as for the jetting you will just have
to suck it and see,make certain they are not jetted lean, the cam is pretty mild and in my early days ran one of these, if you can change the cam to
something like a engle 110 you will be able to get some of the potental from the engine

And if you'vew not put it together yet you could give the heads a clean up in the ports, nothing mad, just a tidy up, and match port your manifolds.
If you machine up your own vents be sure to have the correct angle milled into them. And to echo vwo60, don't go too mild on the cam!

Awesome guys, this is the stuff I need to know 
I will definately keep the 44's, as I said I am a bit unfamiliar with webers etc, not even sure what venturies are, but I will definatley research
it....
So obviously the 149 cam is a bit milder than the engel 110 you guys are talking about?
Will the 110 still be a streetable cam? Keeping in mind this will be more of a daily car (I already have my fast car in the garage)
Thanks for your input guys!!

110 is a mild street cam, very driveable with the duals and nice mild heads. A good combo that is very reliable.

Ahhh, pretty difficult to right an answer to that one, some hog out port jobs flow less than a mild tidy up....so be careful what you ask for or who
you ask to do the work!

the wade 149a cam is awsome. i ran this cam with my 1835cc twin 44mm webers i ran a 13 sec 1/4. cam is still lumpy at around 3000rpm.
