1776 cc of Kombi fun about to begin
Just got most of the bits for the Kombi's 1776. Hopefully it won't take too long and too many dollars to get it together and in...
AS21 case
Counterweighted crank and genny
Heads and other bits
Baby coming so heater boxes will go on this one...
Kadrons to help it breathe
Barrels and pistons
Tin and other bits
Another view of the case (and my other project behid it...)

Thats just the engine spec I want for my oval one day. (It's always one day)
Is that an oval window grafted on to a big window beetle in the back ground of the last pic?

Not sure about the cam yet, that'll be decided soon. The case was new in wax when a friend got it, had it in her car for a while then got a 1916
so very low milage on the case.
Compression, guess we'll see when the build up happens.
A couple of weeks and the finer detail should be known...
What's with the flanges on the heater boxes? I'm planning on doing something odd with air into them so they won't be set up quite in
the normal way but I'm keen to hear about where you added the flanges and what they do...
It's not just an oval welded in Grey, have a look at the profile of the rest of the roof.
Matt

Matt
where the header joins the heater box instead of a slip joint you cut them back and weld on a set of flanges.
NO LEAKS to be induced into the cabin. Easy to take on and off
Best mod you will do for the $$
I will try and take a picture of mine.
There was a picture on Club VW from a few years ago that showed the underneat of a car and you could see it perfectly there. Not to sure if it is
still there
Maybe Steve C will be able to did it out

yes and no
V Force did them for me. He gets a bunch made up at a time. I would ask the motor builders up there as opposed to the parts shops.
You could always collect some old exhaust systems and cut them off there.
