Just checked the page. For some reason my email didnt mention any posts. Well as far as the carb, Im not gonna let the carb restrict how I build the block up. The guy I got the beetles from says he has a dual carb hes willing to sell me, so I will look at the condition and probably go with that. Still havent pulled the motor apart. Havent had time. Last weekend I did drive out to the middle of no where to pick up an engine stand I found on Craigslist, hopefully it makes my life a little easier.Back to the motor work. When I go to the machine shop, What Kind of bore should I be looking for? Trying not to break the bank, but I am looking to bring it up to like 150 HP. Also can anyone recommend a piston kit to go with the bore? I am trying to price everything out at the moment. Still need to sell my DR650 for the cash to finish the project... :/But hopefully Ill have more info thursday night, Im trying to get the night off of work to tear it down.

Well aren't you a ray of sunshine!
I agree!
Well if you guys where looking to burst my bubble you did a damn good job at it. Let me try to lower my standards a little. How about if I keep the stock crank and upgrade my pistons? Maybe bore it out a little. Is it worth me not boreing and just picking up that 84 piston kit that I found on appletreeauto auto? And any cam/valve recomendations along with it?
if it is so exspensive to make these engines have power, and everything about the engine and transaxle needs upgraded, why the hell do people even use them? why not put that money into something better...??
