| A 3 rib bus bell housing will let you attach a starter. Gravity feed gas tank and a battery should let you run it on the floor. |

You mean that bell housing from
Bus can fit to our Bug? And the engine can sit on the floor? Don't really need stand?
Thanjs |

You can cut the bell housing off a t1 trans and build your own.
Or maybe try and borrow one.
Oh, do yourself a favor and put it on a table so you can work upright.
