Transplant time

[Humble]

So I finally got fed up with the tired 1600 in the daily bug and decided to pick up a bigger one I picked up this little guy for a bit over 2k and so far I think I got my money's worth.




2276cc
dual weber 44, (italian woohoo!) with ported manifolds
worked over heads, port matched, not sure who did it but they look good
pauter rockers
78mm crank
94mm pistons and cylinders
balanced assembly
norris 336S cam (a torqer cam)
12lb. flywheel
KEP stage 1 pressure plate
black magic clutch disc
oberg fuel filter
msd dizzy
msd 6al box with 7000rpm pill
72plate oil cooler with fan
dyno put it at 150hp (not sure if that was in car or not)

It was still in the car when went to pick it up. It ran rough but ran, definitely a carb problem. The back story is the motor was built for a baja bug off road toy, then dad sold his daily and used the baja for a month. In turn he annoyed baby daughter and all condo neighbors. He parked the bug in cargo container over summer, all gas evaporated leaving carbs a mess. He tried to rebuild them but now they worse, selling motor/baja to fund other projects.

I already autopsied and rebuilt the carbs (anyone interested in a weber rebuild how-to?) and found one of the float assemblies was damaged. New carb top and a little porting and it's good as new. The next step is a thin sump and installing it in the car.
