Yep, 2l kit, Weber carbs, „hot“ camshaft... I‘d like it to max at 140HP, needs proper timing etc. - I can make it run but I‘m not a tuning specialist. If I do everything right I‘ll lower the beetles weight below 700kg, there’s a short hill racing transmission I already built in, four disc vented Poersche/ Kerscher brake system and low shanks. It‘ll be the bees knees once I get it onto the streets :mrgreen:

You do understand I‘ll need pictures of that Jag sometimes? The E-Type is one of my alltime favourite cars...

I am afraid of a future where engines and motors of common vehicles will no longer make any kind of sound nor generate excitement.

I heard a mighty 533 cui V8 today, man I love that sound! I talked to the owner and he was really happy that I commented the sound and asked about cui and performance.

There will be no silence as long as I am around!
