This site is designed to help anyone thinking about doing a custom engine conversion in the back of your old-school V-dub.

Thanks for Visiting! I started this site to share the experiences I had when converting my 65 Bug to Mazda Rotary Power. Click here to visit my site for more information.

Or why not just use the ford engine(V8, 351) and transmision that they used in a De tomaso panthera if you want a mid engine V8 bug...
