Fast by ferracci pistons trade
Mon Dec 09, 3: Anyway, you need to put some money in the swap: Mon Dec 09, 9: Thanks for the reply. I'm still considering to use a late paso casing with a stock gearbox. Don't know how strong the crank is. Could it handle 90 - hp? I could fit an crank instead with approx an 2,5mm alu base gasket home made. From there I could go for hc pistons with some serious porting of the heads. Max diameter valves etc.
I know I've to rebuild the sprag, cause of the splines of the crank. This shouldn't be a problem. Can't say if the clutch will hold, though.. Another option is to use the stock pistons, raise the cilinder a bit more till the chamber pressure is approx 8 bar and make myself a custom exhaust with a garrett turbo. Heads can be stock also. The dcnf carb should manage it well, as it is also turbocharged on earlier vw beetles..
Thu Dec 19, 9: In my opinion the clutch will not hold enough, this is the reason they switched to the standard configuration with the 6 gear engine. The box should be strong enough as pantah was tuned for racing with quite high power levels. You considered a dual spark modding? It's one of the cheapest modding to the stock heads and will let you install hc pistons and special cams with less output troubles! About turbo, I think this will make you face very big temp troubles: Fri Dec 20, 9: I think that the 2,5 mm spacer will reduce the structural strenght of the engine, more there will be some trouble with gear and clutch assembling More you will have to machine the alluminium near the frame attacs.
So installing a from a SS or a monster will become easier than this. The easiest way to get a result is alwais the best one, so what's the target of your project? About the temperature, the cheapest way is to install this: Fri Dec 20, Brutus, what are you aiming for? A race engine for track days or one for the street? Fri Dec 20, 8: I'm aiming at bhp with the max torque between 5k-7k if possible street use.
Also I would like to use a paso engine with the 44 dcnf weber. I still got those early paso pistons lying around though. I believe these got approx 14k km's on it. They have a higher dome, but don't know the compression ratio. Maybe with a new set of piston rings would be enough in combination with some upgrading of the heads.
Don't know the max capacity of the heads. Will 44mm inlet valves fit? Will cams give more lift? From there I could go for hc pistons with some serious porting of the heads.

Like to know about your experience.
Before I forget; I'm only considering an crank because I asume the stock paso crank can't handle 90 bhp and a higher torque. Sat Dec 21, Brad Black has a narrow case crank that might be for sale. He was thinking of putting it in his A hi comp, big bore kit Fast by Ferracci USA , narrow case crank, heads better ports, big valves , should give you over cc, big valves, better cams and heads. Brad would know the details involved.
