Porsha guy newb to VWs needs advice

[rodeking]

The doka is a 1965 so the engine is not original, I don't even know what the original one was, 1500?

I am going back to the 1679 recipe because it will meet my needs for what I want it to do and like the original look. I have to decide on the cam, need to look at the different specs, CB2280 or one of the CB group 1 cams.

Both the Wilson book and my Haynes show the same spec for the main bearing bores. I'm just going to get it bored .020 over and be done with it along with case savers, deep stud on #3 and a deck clean up. Will use the 88 case slip fits.

If I need heads I like the Mofoco 040s.

For exhaust this had a SCAT with stock heater boxes and center muffler with dual twin tip tail pipes. The bumper was cut for the tailpipes so if I go with the street header set up I will have to fill in the bumper holes and repaint it flat black like it is now. The SCAT has the fittings for the heat risers but the hole was never drilled into the primary tubes so the heat risers were not doing a thing. I read somewhere that said using a 1 3/8 header with stock heater boxes doesn't do much because the heater boxes are smaller than 1 3/8? Makes sense so maybe I will just stick with a good stock type setup. Don't know if this SCAT is good or not.. it's usable, can just drill the holes for the risers.

Danwvw that is a nice looking engine compartment on your bus.

That's Not Mine, Wish it was. Mine it this one. 1800cc Type 1.
Yes 1500 I think, but unless you really make it look original with single port setup etc not much point in going with the PICT 34, Just as well go with dual carbs and Brian's engine above with the 92 bore and the DP heads with Dual carbs. I know nice ones "Carbs" are expensive but they can look pretty nice and they open things up as far as the engine and getting to the gen/alt to change it out etc.. Dual carbs are a little un-friendly though where there is no above access.

The thing about single port heads is they work well in a bus even on larger engines to a point. You could keep the Dog House fan and it's nice Aluminum oil cooler too. Just run the stock PiCT 30 or whatever the original 1500cc had. But if you go to the 92 bore in a single port probably need a modified German solex carb with a 28mm venturi.

The 2280 cam works well for what you are doing. Another that has worked a little better for the shop I used to work at is Crower's 61002.

Yes, I think the 2280 is the way to go. I looked at the 2280 and the W100 and compared to stock specs. This is what I have:

intake duration at .050 valve lift with 1.1 rockers

stock 212 .322
CB 2280 222 .394
W100 236 .420

I had a 944 once. The only Porsche salvage yard very much charged a Porsche tax. Fun car though.

VW Type 1 Engine 1679cc with a W-100 Cam:
Pict-34 with the throttle plate hole plugged up.
Dual Dellorto's,
Dual Zenith NDIX 32's like "Porsch" A's came with for the year 1957 and later.

Some links to Bus Engine Pictures: 1965 with PICT 34, 1965 with Stock Solex, DoubleCab with Dual Carbs, Samba Dual Carbs, Deluxe Stock.

Just a footnote! (I put the W-100 in a 1585cc single port bug engine and it idled fine with the PICT-30 and a PICT-28, And with the 1956 Porsche Solex PBIC-32 as a single carb it really woke up).

"The important thing is the bearing fits the hole, we can agree, yes?"

I agree. So what you are saying is to do the job right the shop should have the bearings in hand before they bore the case to make sure they get the req'd crush, correct? Crush should be like .002" ?

oprn - I'm in Welland,ONT on the Niagara Peninsula. Have been coming here almost every w/e for six years. I've been all over Canada on a Harley Road King and a Yamaha dual sport. As far west as Winnipeg, east in NS and north in Cartwright, Labrador, that's as far north you can go on the east coast w/o getting wet. That was the last trip in 2016. Up to Baie-Comeau on the St Lawrence then north along the Manicouagan to Manic 5 then across Labrador to the ferry across the strait to NewffieLand. Then down to Port aux Basque for the ferry to NS then home. Incredible trip and incredible people.

When I redid the engine lid in revwife’s 914, I arancged the letters to spell
P. O. R. C. H. E. S.

She didn’t appreciate it.

I like to say Porch vs. just Porsh..

Gets the hobnobs wound up even tighter that way..


And, now, it's cut the case to fit the bearings..
Some even grind the crank to fit.
