I thought I should bring up this and probably a few more pictures later on very different kind of VW T1 and T2/4 based engines.
The fantastic effort of Brian Hyerstay, his engine and delivery of function in his car with records, is amazing!
So I was inspired to share some other machine history.

This engine is not bad either.
It is not billet like Brians but rather based on Ford BDA cylinder heads.
The builder is Karl Erik Nilsson and he did this in 1975.
He raced RallyCross and this was a lot of inspiration to me.
Even if I took the choice of Porsche 911 head conversion instead a few years later.
+10 000 rpm is nice in a VW.

Cooling barrels, cam drive and many more items were cast or machined by Karl Erik.

Here some nice engines with 911 Porsche OHC heads on T1.

As for Karl Eriks 4 valve head engine, it became popular in Swedish Rallycross and two engines were built using Saab 4 valve heads.
these were also turbocharged.

14 pages of 911 SOHC on T1 chat.

This seems to be a one man show and I do not know if you find it interesting or not?
I drop a few more pictures and we will see?

Mika Jansson, only one of his many OHC contraptions. Very succesful and reliable engine. 600 plus hp Bosch 3D timed fuel injection

Anders Fridh. Similar to Mika but in a squareback.

This one I know pretty well. It is mine. Here as a street version in my 67 beetle. Motec injected and a small turbo next to the bus automatic gearbox [img= width=800 height=685]http://i153.photobucket.com/albums/s207/Frallan2/dare1_zps32fb49a1.jpg~original[/img]

I do not know if you find it interesting or not?

I for one always love your posts Frallan, you find the most unique engines ever built

 

[Frallan]

Thanks Brian!

....and here is the car with the bus automatic 090 box and the 911 SOHC headed engine.
I drove that car from Sweden to Modena in Italy on a cold December day.
That is another story by itself.
Then I used the car as my daily driver two years. That was fun!

Any numbers on how they ran?

I imagine they sounded unique also

Thanks Frallan and Dangerous. Unbelievable engineering on all of those engines dating back to the 70's. Very interesting.

Hej Frallan , Är det möjligtvis så du kan ha bilder på karl eriks motor med saabtoppar på
Jag skulle bli jätteglad om att få veta mer om den motorn då jag håller på med de saabmotorena 16 v topparna kommer ifrån , försökte sända ett meddelande till dig , men var nykomling i gruppen så fick inte göra det . Mvh Åke
