[karol]

Can I see some pics and hear about how easy/hard they are to fit?

Ok, I will ask, whats a porka?

[DORIGTT]

C'mon Steve!

We all know that its a Porsche motor (at least by the fact that this post is in the Porsche powerplants forum )

Hi

I must have lead a sheltered life, I've never heard a Porsche called that before, I guess I should have looked at which forum its in.

Just goes to show you, we all speak English, just different versions.

Man I've been in the porsche scene for 7 years.. I worked at a porsche shop for two years..ive never heard that term

[DORIGTT]

Most probably wouldn't say it to your face

It's a faily common term in the UK, it rhymes with Porsche if you say it correctly. Speedster replicas are often referred to as 'plastic pigs' which takes it a bit further!

plastico pigas...ha ha i'm working on putting a 2.2 with zeniths and a 915 in a 1500s....does that count?

Notch11,

Do you have the engine yet ? Do you have the length dimension of the 2.2 from engine bell housng (where it mates to the gearbox) to the front pulley ?

I am also toying with the idea of a flat 6 in my beetle. I'm assuming you need to move the gearbox forward in the chassis to make the room you need.

Thanks
