Right now its looking like a 1641 since I have most of the parts already. But I think I want to build a 1915 or 2007 EFI turbo. When I'm done running them as carbs I want to turn them into throttle bodies.

Not sure if this is right or what, but I was looking at the newest issue of HotVWs, and found the 69 forged crank for $189. Right under it was a 78 crank for the same price....I THINK that what is on the CB Performance web site is a TYPE-O!! Its actually a 78 that is selling from the same price (NOT a 76), which is great too, but requires more than radiused con rods to make fit.

Maybe I'll call CBP, to get the real skinny.

Hmmm.

Well, i think im fairly set on a 69mm this time around. Next engine (after i have experience building) i might consider building a stroker, or a type-4

Well i got the Dellorto DRLA 40mm's for $169+ 34 shipping...And manifolds, linkage and all the hardware NEW for $75 shipped!
So i have a grand total of $278 bucks for the whole setup without filters!

I think i got myself a good deal Eh?

This is a pic of one of my 36's out of the box, roughly assembled on my new engine. You can see the two vacuum ports that you turn counter clockwise to open and connect a manometer to sync them. Only euro models have these, and also air bleed screws...
