I am not a fan of kits, but I've heard that the Scat kit is OK, as long as you upgrade to a forged crank.
If I were buying a kit, I'd prolly go w/ Berg, if I could afford it. Lack of funds has me putting mine together, bit by bit. May be more expensive in the long run, but I'll have no question about quality of parts.

i figured piece by piece would be the better way to go but i didnt know if there were any other kits other than bergs that were good any recomendations for building a 2332 or something like that what parts would be ideal carbs header cam all that kind of stuff

this is for a bus right? you really do not want that engine for a bus. At all. Super flows and IDA's? Thats crazy

If this is 4 a bus, I would recommend that you consider a type 4 motor, (porche 914) much better for a bus, with about 100 hp stock, and lots of torque to push the bus around. they can easily be pumped for more HP, and still last 200,000 miles like a normal car. Check out http://www.aircooledtechnology.com/ and http://shoptalkforums.com then type 4um. it is much more reliable than type 1, and is pretty easy to swap, I am saving junkyard parts and should be able to get it all finished for less than $500 complete, carbs and everything.

no this is for a 57 euro

For a bus stick with the upright and build a bulletproof 1776cc or 1679cc. Wait you already did......

yeah now a leaky 1776

Thu Jun 19, 2003 3:38 pm

lol got my first oil leak wooo hoooooo

Fri Jun 20, 2003 7:44 am

hey, check out aircooled.net , the scat kits are good if you want a kit. How much power do you want, what kind of budget are you talking about (including Eng & Trans) and is this for drag racing, Daily driving, or a weekend type car

congrats on the oil leak. It's all downhill from there

Fri Jun 20, 2003 12:17 pm

i think my leak is in the oil cooler its coming from in between my engine and tranny
:P the engine i want to build for my bug will be more show and going to beat the ricers and v8's money is not that much of a object ....

i was gonna buy the 2276 kit from airccoled.net but it cost $1100. i went down to scat and got the same kit for $897, thats with tax. 82mm forged 4340 crank, h-beam rods, c-45 cam, all german bearings/gaskets. forged 94mm piston/cylinders and spacers. shadek 26mm oil pump, lube-a-lobe lifters. left out a couple things, cant remember right now. now, i got the hbeams and lifters because they didnt have the i beams and normal lifters in stock when i went, so he gave me a deal. but i think ive seen the kit for about 910 without tax with the h beams, ect... o yea, airccoled.net dont come with the h-beams either, but the ibeams should be just as good to run
