Howdy. I'm wondering if I can use the 2000cc engine from a 412 in a vw bug? I've got a '60 bug and access to the engine. The bellhousing has already been modified for a 12v flywheel. Does anyone know which carb would work well?


Thanx!!!

:D

This conversion is possible but if you have a 2.0 engine, I would guess it is probably originally from a bus. We do not advocate sacrificing 412's for the engines around here so watch your back :lol: .

You will find everything you need to know about this conversion overs at www.shoptalkforums.com as it has been covered extensively.

Did you go to Manassas?

I was there. My goal was to drive one of my VW's but I ran out of money :cry: to get it going in time. Scored some good parts though. Right hand drive pedal assembly for $40 and an old school tinted visor for $40.

Were you there?

RHD pedal assembly :shock: ?? That ought to be a hoot to drive here in the Colonies!

So DB (or should I call you Darth Bus?), if you're the sith master, who's your apprentice?

You should see my version of Star Wars using well known politicians and the Pope, quite strange. Goto the Rants and look for the thread titled

pope
