Thanks Wally,

I have been jumping around boards looking for suggestions.. and over at Superbeetlesonly.com some one turned me onto a shop only 30-40 min from where I live.. I will have to visit them, and discuss options with the pan present and take it from there. It may be the more $$ route, but then I avoid messing with VIN # and related items.

The 914 box, should be good for my road racing. I will probably run it detuned for a bit, till I get things sorted out. Regarding the aircooled, it was a close call, as I use to race a subaru turbo, and having driven Martin's car, its a nice setup.. but for now aircooled, I do have a vert, that may get rebuilt, that the 2.7 can go into if I feel inclined, but that is way to far into the future...

Again appreicate the feedback and ideas. It always seem that once you get start down this road, its best to not look back..
