You may think this is dumb

[aeromech]

Yep. Now I have the money. No used cases for me. I'm going new.

Yeah, it's tough to get any real performance out of one with the stock PICT 34 Carb and Stock Exhaust. But I would think the Type 1 1800cc would have a lot better torque than a stock motor. The CB-2280 Cam is not much cam at all but at least it would help some. I think Port Matching and CC's set for higher compression is all you would need to do to the (SS valve, 3 angle valve job, single HD valve spring L3 Heads) and if you send in your vw intake manifold end castings, to Daren at DRD he can port match your new L3 heads to them for you and set the CC's to your desired compression ratio. But the thing to do is to do this last so you can install the Piston's and Cylinders on the case first and measure the Deck Height.
The AA-Performance I Beam rods are probably ok but they aren't as sexy as the CB-Performance H Beam rods. If you ask me the H-Beams are worth the extra $140 that they cost just to look at them when your put the engine together. They won't need balancing either!

Full flow for sure. My shop just opened the case for a return and I screwed in a Brass Pipe nipple taking care not to tighten it too tight and split my case. I a elcheapo Empi steel full flow oil pump cover it was only $12 dollars at the time but everyone is charging more for them now. The Gene Berg Pressure relief steel pump cover would be much nicer. ANC hose fittings would be great but cost a lot so I just went with hose and clamps and 3/8" Brass Pipe to 1/2" hose fittings on my engine. I ran the remove oil filter cover out to behind my back wheel where it get's a bit of mud on it but I think it helps cooling as I did not do a sump or a extra oil cooler.
Here is a photo:

Mock-Up:

Case and Pump oil flow output both get plugged when using a out only remote cover:

Full Flow Return Modification to Case:

With Brass Fitting a Blind L Automotive grade Brass Pipe fitting if using ANC hose fittings this will be a compression fitting:

Update: I have a builder lined up for my new longblock. Here's the details.

74mm chromoly counterweighted crank
Cb2880 cheater cam with lifters and gear
AA 88 mm pistons
New AS41 case full flowed
Low profile CB sump

I'm sure there's more details but what remains to be decided is exhaust and carb. I want to stay with a 34pict-3 and run the stock parts like DVDA 205q as well as the altitude corrector. I may consider boring the Venturi to 28 and rejetting or just rejetting. I may consider an A1 Sidewinder just because everything else seems like crap.

Suggestions are appreciated. Parts on order. Build hasn't started yet.

[rockerarm]

What's your intent on the cylinder heads and rocker arms/adjusters?
What static compression ratio ae you aiming for?
Oil filter is in the plans, correct?
Bill.

[aeromech]

Aircooled .net L3 heads with stock rockers and solid shafts. External filter. No cooler at first, maybe later. 8.25:1 compression

I completely forgot about this thread. Thought I'd follow up with some details.

I used a model from John Connolly from Aircooled.net as my guide.

https://www.aircooled.net/1800cc-vw-engine-no-machine-combo/

It's an 1800cc. Almost all new parts. Case, crank, cam, etc. I had Jeff at GEMVW in Menifee, Ca do the build. I ordered a lot of the parts and had them delivered to Jeff. I anyone is really interested in the details of my build they can contact Jeff. He has all that stored on his computer and calls it "Gary's Engine" I think. I believe he's used this model for a couple other people as well.

I wanted a stock looking engine with more power but driveability. I had Bill Fowler build me the correct 1971 bus distributor (205Q) and Tim at volkzbitz build the Solex 34PICT-3 (correct flange number) for the 1971 bus which included a larger venturi and jets plus the damper and throttle positioner connected to the altitude corrector. The degreed pulley is the heavy Gene Berg on which add weight and lends to a smoother idle.

I did eventually add an external cooler and filter

The exhaust is an original type 1 that I added two type 3 modified dampers to. This gives me more power but a quiet engine and has all the correct junk for the carb heat risers.

"Cheater Cam" and compatible lifters came from CB Performance. Heads were L3 from Aircooled.net. Stock rockers. 88mm thick wall pistons and cylinders from AA Performance.

Gotta run. More info on request

I remember the conversation....about the "damper" pipes....which we have on center exit type 4 mufflers as well.

How did those work out?

I have not had a damper pipe in my posession for decades.....and back when I did I never really explored their construction. But from the cokncept and effect.....they are actually "resonators"......meaning the inner pipe "should" be perforated in a limited area and specific location and there is a chamber between the inner pipe and outer pipe that is a dead in chamber.

I know on type 4.....they have a significant quieting effect. Ray

[aeromech]

How did those work out?

Quite well I think. I used my welder Carlos to do them for me and then had them flame sprayed.

Very Nice!

[iamdonquixote]

nice, is it performing as you expected ? - how does it compare to plain stocker
