My 14 your old son recently acquired a 1974 beetle with a locked up 1600. I've rebuilt 1 Subaru ej255 several automatic transmissions and a few Chevy motors. It seems like there are endless options for kits.
I want to build him a fun motor but at the same time I don't want to turn him loose with too much. We live on the coast near the beach and the car has weld rims with 205/60/15 tires. I'd like to hop behind the wheel once in awhile also and have some fun- possibly on the beach
He'll be driving it to high school when the temperatures aren't to cold - Alaska
We were thinking a 1915 , 110-120 cam, 1.25 rockers, dual carbs, header with dual tips. If the motor turns out to be too much I could make a throttle stop ...
I've been reading through several build threads. Any experience with a similar combo or recommendations would be awesome.
