I have been wanting to throw a VR6 in the single cab for sometime now... The motor isn't all that heavy but I'm sure the ass end will come out from under you if you're not careful.

Great that you posted these pictures here!
That's one of the most original engine choices I've seen.
A V4 makes perfect sence!

Here's mine:
Its a Saab V4 built by Ford and put in late 60s early 70s Saab Sonnet's. The previous owner did all the work and really paid attention to details--notice the lights come on when hood is raised! I LOVE this car! |

i have seen pics of a golf diesel beetle but i cant find any of it atm
as u can see by my sig i have a 70 beetle
when i bought it it had already been fitted with a 13B rotary but theyre not my first choice in engines
main thing when converting a vw is to rememebr they were built for flat 4 motors, inline engines throw off the center of gravity
i dunno how these guys with twincam toyota engines go
i noticed the handleing in mine wasnt as good anymore despite being converted to IRS lowered caster shims porsche rims etc.
the EJ series subi engines are plentyful and cheap here and give very impressive results and are not much differtn physically to a vw engine
theres a guy here in aus with a 2.5L mazda V6 engine in his baja
its got massive offroad mud tyres on it so would never be in the ultimate handeling department anyway but with 200hp on tap it gets moving pretty well 0-100 in 6.3 secs apperently

Never seen one in a beetle. Yes, the 3 cylinder Lupo 3l engine would be great! This engine is also found in the polo, some seats, skoda fabia and the small Audi (A2?). There is a 1.2 version, which is the one in the 3L and a 1.4 version, which has 90 hp (if I remember correctly).
The only problem with these engines is that the wrecked cars are still relatively expensive (I would like a complete car), and this engine has a "can bus" (or something like that) system which might be difficult to tie into your beetle wiring loom.
But it is a nice compact, smooth running, economical and powerfull engine.
(picture is with gearbox)
