My best friend build the engine and drove it some 20k with it before i bought it from him in '03 and put on an extra 75k
the downside is that my friend brian -who build the 1776 type1 engine- died in '10 in a one way car crash in belgium
there are two options in my point of view;
1) rebuilding the 1776 by a vw/porsche specialist or
2) convert it to subaru ej20 na (115hp) power...

A couple of weeks ago I took out the 1776 and started collecting the missing parts for the EJ20 conversion.
Engine and gearbox out;
Bought some EFI parts;
Testfitting the EJ20 with adaptorplate to the beetle IRS gearbox;
Measuring the height for the custommade intake manifolds;
VW Digifant (Golf2 GTi 16V) fuelpump and filter unit;
Megasquirt MS2 V3.57 ECU and wiringloom;
Lasercut plates for the intake manifolds;
Now waiting for some parts (headers, triggerwheel) and testfitting the engine in the T1
*edit 22:38.. just bought!
