Nice car Hugo. I'm currently collecting parts to build a SBC 283 front engine Super Beetle with either a custom chassis or a modified Chevy S-10 chassis.
Also, everyone, this isn't the first V8 bug, there are dozens out there, but Hugo's is still unique. Most I've seen have front mounted engines. Here's are a couple of links to some V8 bug chassis as well as a forum that features some cool V8 bugs!!! V8 Bugs Forum (follow the link to the forum): http://www.V8bugs.com/ You'll find BBC bugs here as well as SBC bugs. One of the BB bugs runs mid 9's in the 1/4 mile. Here's another link to chassis plans for a V8 front mounted engine. http://www.prostreetbug.com/ Here's some one actually building these plans: http://carmensbugs.proboards102.com/...ead=1184096542 Last edited by V8SuperBeetle; October 2nd 2007 at 16:45. |

Rorty Rover v8 Bug
This is my little project. A mid mounted rover V8 VW Beetle. Like Hugo's it's based on a Rorty designs chassis http://www.rorty-design.com/index.html. I have been working on it on and off over the past couple of years. Here is a web site detailing more on my project. http://users.tpg.com.au/adslrhqj/index.htm
P.S. anyone want a GT40 replica body? I have one on a VW floor pan for sale. |

Penno,
Nice looking build! What's that transaxle you're using - Renault? That lightweight Rover engine should make a good performing "Bug" when you're finished. I understand they can make up into the 300hp+ range with a little work (and lots of $$$). The low weight though is the real winner, IMO. Will the Rorty chassis require wider fenders? There was an old article in (I think) VW Greats waaaay back when, with a Bug body sitting down on a Mid-Engineering chassis - mid mounted small block Chevy and Corvair tranny, which was pretty standard fare for their chassis' back then. Supposedly made a real rocket ship, with super wide BBS wheels and low profile tires. Sure looked neat! Jeff |
