Thinking about a heart transplant for your air-cooled Volkswagen? You are in the right place! Post any questions/suggestions/stories you might have, or pictures of your conversion. 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.
first of all thank you Zenjoe for giving me the motivation of doing the conversion, when I was stationed in Germany people were thinking i was crazy for doing this but now that I'm back in the good ol'USA there is no limit of what can be done
thank you zenjoe i feel liberated i cant wait to finish this project if you want to see the progress from the beginning check out www.myspace.com/rotaryvolky and check the 1962 folder in my pics
hi, do you have the wiring of the ignition? i have 912 with a 12a, not easy to start and high idle. im trying to figuer out if my wiring is correct from switch to coils etc. thanks simonrex55@verizon.net
