ya see, the whole idea of this project was to keep it VW. I'd like to fit a watercooled, vw engine (from ANY car), into my 70, and actually make it kick some tail. The only 2 engine's that i've found that can fit in the bug, while still closing the deck lid, is the wbx, and the 8v from a rabbit. The wbx just "seemed" as if it would be more fit to go in the bug, since its an opposed 4 cylinder engine, and has pretty much the same make up of a type 1, or type 4. I don't soppose any of you have any experience or links to sites that have any info on doing an 8v conversion, or have any other VW watercooled engine that would fit in the back of my 70???

thanx for the replies
