Be different, Kelly!  Enough of the Super Beetle engines in early cars! 😀

I really like how Erik’s engine is turning out with the Zeniths:

Terrible ideas! They leak too much oil and cost too much!

Oh God….please don’t make not leaking oil part of the criteria.  Pretty sure Kelly probably wants to stick with something ACVW.

Erik’s engine is looking nice. I thought he was going to run dual solex p11 carbs?

1914cc, 1.1 rockers, solid shafts, swivel feet, 110 cam, panchito heads, hunt magneto, IDA carbs small venturies, Porsche linkage, 36hp fan shroud, 36hp genetartor backing plate, and a A1 sidewinder

I believe he liked the specs of the Zeniths being a better pairing to his engine than the choked down P11 40’s.

More assemble last night. Finished relieving the torsion bar splines and got them installed. 

Bolted in the master cylinder and bent up the remaining brake hard lines.

Beam bolted up, springs packs in, torsion arms  and seals as well. Should have the front end finished up tomorrow.

We will build it if it comes.

Use a 74 crank, 1.25s, 100 cam, CB distributor, and everything else is fine.

The magneto requires too much maintenance. Use the CB and program it.

All the motor choices are good.  Mary has requested that the engine area be as clean as Franz can make it.  She also didn’t want a big motor, sorry JJ.

Scott….I’ve been thinking about this all day…Why does the magneto require too much maintenance?  I honestly don’t know.

I’ll take a look at the CB distributor. 😉
