Nice looking motor. Don't put your oil filter in the engine compartment, mount it on the bumper bracket. Also, look into plumbing in an extra oil cooler and fan while you are at it. The extra cooler could be mounted above the trans axle. Good luck.
Thats great to use the org case from the thing! It’s going to be one fun car to drive! One thing though. Those fuel filters are notorious for breaking and leaking causing a fire in the enginebay. make sure to put that further down the fuelline preferably in front of the fire wall and on the suction side of the pump as they don’t like beeing pressurized. 👍
We were super excited somemych was able to be saved between the engines! It runs awesome! If I remember correctly we relocated this ones filter down by the trans.

So awesome that you were able to keep the parts from pops engine! Pops loves on in more than just his bug!! ❤️
Yeah we're both super excited with how this has turned out so far! Can't wait till more parts come in so we can get going on it!
Love the old school look; Gene Berg linkage! Killer!
Yeah this one looks great! It’s Cooke we are able to save some much out of pops OG engine.

That's awesome
Super excited how this one came together! Can’t wait 2 get it in the car!
Ooo I know I'm going to love this!!
Come on just pop it in there real quick, then Trav will be driving it daily!!
I know still collecting some parts and trying to figure out where to put the remote oil filter! Dying to hear this run!

Cool vid
Thanks for checking it out!
I wish I could gift you my dad's bug. I'd love to see what you did with it.
Did you ever get 2 drive your dads bug? I have so many memories with my pops and VW’s
@@mileageunknown8910 I've never personally driven it but always loved riding in it. I always felt so cool driving in it with my dad. Good memories
@@fearlessmadamex5685 that’s awesome! Who knows maybe you’ll get 2 drive it one of these days? Old VW’s can be a bit sketchy but so much fun
