Very cool work ther and a SUPER clean looking bug.
I just cranked my 1385 for the first time last weekend using a 100 cam and the 373 heads, 1.1:1 rockers as well as a '65 case.
I am pretty happy with the results so far. Only about 40 minutes run time on the stand so far though.

Looks good,nice attention to detail ! |

That looks great. Great photo too.
I'm definitely interested in hearing the horsepower rating.
One suggestion... I'd paint the regulator casing black so it looks vintage too. |
Great looking engine.
So what did this end up doing on the dyno?? |

Is your left intake manifold offset to the rear slightly to accomodate the left head's more forward location? I checked Riechert's website, and both SP manifolds "appear" to be mirror-image. Quite $$ also! Reason I ask is that I;'m in the process to cut apart some type 3 SP manifolds (Solex 32PDSIT with larger venturies) and welding a short section of pipe spacer to lengthen them for Beetle application. The stock design has the left carb further forward than the right carb. To make the cross-pull carb linkage work, I'd either need to extend the left carb's throttle arm rearward about a good inch, or weld the spacer pipe so that upper part of the manifold positions the carb rearward somewhat.
Mine's all low-budget using leftover parts I already have, for a 1500 engine starting point. |

Riechert's set-ups aren't cheap, but they are excellent value - great craftsmanship and ready work straight out if the box. That's a good question about the offset, I'll have a look and get back to you.
