and swap are forbidden in France so the V8 isn't really discrete, that's why i want a 4 bangers

i had a buddy that had a baha bug with a 2.0l DOHC 16v cosworth on the back it was pretty cool .
i think if you can find the adapter plate for the engine you should be able to basically just bolt it in with the appropiate wiring mods of course
dont know for sure but.....

Yo i wanna do a 350 in a bug. Vey common conversion for the 60's. Imagine that power yto weight ratio

Not really, it seems a little hardest than that

1 € = 1.3$
And i just want the parts to install it so the 'box' is little

Anyway, I think buy in USA is really interesting today

I'm still thinking at this swap, i don't know if i will do it

Imagine a FD rotary in a bug, pure heaven! The weight ratio, the power, the sound. damn... i might have to do that

Check out momenutum motorsports, I'm sure that they would be able to help you with a 1.8t into a mk1

FD in a bug would be cool, I didn't have the money though, so how about an FB (12a)

Blackmilk · 11 Mar 2005, 02:05 pm

zenjoe thanks for your help
