I'm assuming they wanted more heat? I wonder if the outlets from the fan shroud are tie in with the booster fan output? |
I asked the seller and this is indeed the case, the hoses being spliced together. |

I don't think it's a ugly or bad engine, it's quite nice but couldn't find a proper thread to put it in.

The engine picture of this ghia has been messing with my mind for awhile:

Part of me wants it to be a flipped picture and the other part of me wants it to actually be like it appears.

It was an endplay issue. He fabricated that to limp him through a weekend trip and then rebuilt the motor after. It's a great build thread and a really nice bug. He started on it when he was a kid... pan off restoration. Creative short term solution that actually worked! _________________ 1966 Sportsmobile Camper https://www.thesamba.com/vw/forum/viewtopic.php?t=...mp;start=0
