Vintage speed help advice needed
Vintage speed help advice needed
by gin23deluxe » Sun Aug 23, 2015 12:00 pm
Hi guys im thinking of building a vintage speed motor, I have a spare early from a barndoor turn key 36 hp motor and as my motor is wrong in the oval its a 58, im looking to build an okrasa style motor, i have an abarth exhaust and nice 010 distributor, ideally want to build a big bore 1500
any parts wanted top end kit crank etc
My knowledge is a little limited on 36 hp motors, built plenty of stock and performance later twin and single port motors.
What are the combinations on what you can use, can you use later crank, cam, barrel and pistons and later heads, i would like to build a 1500 using the original 36hp pedestal case any one here built anything similar or recommend anyone to help out
cheers mark hopley

Hi
Lots of info on the samba, worth a look
Very little fits from a later engine. They are great fun to work on and parts are getting easier to find but its gonna get expensive quickly
You can get og cranks welded and reground or use a porsche 356 one or you can buy a new 69mm one from wolfsburg west
Good luck
