THANKS KING vw 61 for answering comments. The info you give to people is awesome. Thanks for showing your car. We should do a interview at the next show. thanks for coming and hit me up next time I see you.
my interview will be of the car, not to much of a guy wanting to be on camera, Ride a long is a must!! anytime
Great video Mike! This is Randy (the cream colored oval rag next to Robert King’s 2783cc autocraft beast!). Glad you got to talk to Tom Schuh also! That’s about 40 years of priceless VW knowledge in that brain for sure!!! 👍👌😎
I've seen that Autocraft bug before. Its one of those cars that looks deceptively plain from a distance, but the closer you look the more eye-popping it gets. Takes some balls to run a big-cube race motor like that on the street too!
As always Mike ..Thanks for sharing this . Kind Regards Alex
Sorry to hear about your AC dying and taking out half of your house. I lost pretty much everything that was plugged into the wall in a freak thunderstorm several years ago.
Madera show was very nice! It was my first year there with my 1975 Bradly GT 2 Kit car!
I saw this car today and met the King at the Bug In and I was very impressed! His car ran Sixes with no turbo! Awesome car!
Man great feature of a great car - excellent work👏👏
Thanks a bunch. Like to keep watching your stuff
Sorry about your electrical and HVAC problems in the house. Hope they get sorted out and that you get reimbursed for it.
That motor is definitely old school and radical; very exotic. Some of those patina rides are self destructing right before our eyes. Thanks for sharing.
Great video, don’t see much big block vw engine in the street.
Woooow, thats a crazy engine
Nice gathering of Vws!
Yep as always, here in the junk hole , I didn’t even knew this engine existed , nevertheless auto craft 🤔
Anyway thanks for sharing,
You are almost like me , taking the bus to bug meets 😜
E85 Run much much cooler than standard fuel. I’m sure that really helps in the cooling department. Thanks for sharing. ☮️
I really enjoy all your videos Mike, especially the technical hints that you do. The one about the paint guns really helpfu. I am a one car project guy who will probably mess up my bus with a rattle can or roll the pain.😁 If it weren't for all the holes, I would leave it in it's "40 years in the pasture " condition. Anyway, keep doing what you do. Good stuff
Awesome video Mike!!
That is great! Thanks for sharing
You may have seen it but there is a fellow who has a video on here that he took and put a Subaru WRX engine at over 500 horsepower in one of these he also did quite a bit of fabrication and fit up. The car seems like a beast for sure
Thanks Mike, nice video. You pin ball machine probably has an over voltage safety circuit, usually in the power supply. It might just need a small component to be replaced. Once the circuit has fired the safety, it will present a short circuit to the mains supply and blow the mains fuse again. Should be an easy fix if you can Google it with the circuit board number…
Love to have a motor like this for my baja
Hey Mike ! that seems to be a Scat killer 3pcs. case . big bucks . If I would build a case to hop it up I would make the case longer to get more room between the cly.
Not a scat. Autocraft 3 piece. Folts and Schuh old drag engine from the 90’s.
@@king_vw6177 Oh ! I never seen either one of them . My friend Richard in San Antonio had a Karma and used original mag cases . He had a pile of them 15 and I said hey sell me one . No I need all I can get . Now in the back of the shop he had the blown ones . every one of them the same thing. crank snapped at the throw between #3 and #1 . It looked like case failure to me . this was in 1980 or 81 .
Hey that’s King VW!
I dreamed of doing this to my car
E85 would be well suited to air cooled engines. Handles high compression and runs cool.
Yea I should do that on mine. The guys at Low budget do it with the fuel injection system they sell.
Cool VideoMike , on the 2800 , how the hell does he stop that on the Street ? Stock VW Brakes where never that great Power Surgesactually really Suck i lived inMaryland for 25 years and i had a couple of them that did damage to my mainTelevision both times it turned out that on the second time the guy that fixed it explained that the first Shop missed a Update notice from the Manufacturer and if he would had installed a under a Dollar Diode that would had blown instead of the 800 dollar part that did ? the Importance of using a Factory Authorized Shop for Repairs of Course these days very few people repair Televisions We throw them out and replace it with a new one
I have RLR brakes front and rear, Stops on a Dime, best breaking car I have ever owned. They are strange calipers and rotors with ron lumus hubs and brackets.
its a 2799 they are 101.5x86 the 4 inch bore cyl. are crazy thick and are much more streetable than an old school 2180-ive got a roller cam 2.8 with the heads of tge red baron drag car...
I think that is what it was. By the time I did the narration I forgot because Of working on all the house problems. Used to be in the drag car. it was the spare. They tuned it for NA....then the drag car engine blew up. was turbo then they machined the heads down to get high compression. would need new heads, pistons and some other things to go back to turbo. Pistons had to be clearance for the valves.
The beetle is not common in the US? I don't know, But Here in Brazil is very common VW Aircooleds with 1.3, 1.7, 2.0, 2.9 liters or a VW Flat 8 engine (2 beetle engines in 1) made by Fittipaldi. So if you would like to buy VW aircooled parts, original or forged to 1000HP, beetle engine with electric injection, to upgrade Beetles or Kombis with VW certification, i recommend the Brazilian market ;)
A 101.6 mm bore with an 86 mm stroke is 2788 cc. Stroke it to 88 mm and you get 2852 cc. So, he may just be rounding up the 2788 to 2800, or he has an unusual bore size, like 102, which puts you just a tad over 2800 cc. Interesting. I wonder how it drives?
2783cc. 86 x 101.5
Drives like a dream. Low end is great. Pulls to 8000.
@@king_vw6177 Never heard of a 101.5 mm bore size. 101.6 is 4", and is typically what I see on the market. Is this a custom cylinder?
Those Autocraft heads usually don't have any cooling fins on them for street use. They are worse than the CB Street Eliminators when it come to cooling efficiency. I wonder how they run on a hot summer day??
E85 keeps them cool.
I data log all EGT and cht they run 350 on a 100 degree day. I ran 91 for 4000 miles and had no issues.
@@Paulman50 Yeah, to a point... provided you have a conservative CR.
@@king_vw6177 What was your CR?
@@freddaniali was 10.6 on 91 now it is 13.4 on e85
Come down here to O.C. if you want to see some sano pre-‘68 Vee Dubs. 5 spokes/alloys and 48 IDAs are mandatory.
Cool, interesting and great info
Cool car nice guy
Runs low 8s
Hey Mike got a question for... I got a 1914 with the aluminum case and then I had a super Freeway Flyer built by kcr in Riverside and everytime I tighten up the engine to the transmission the engine won't bar over. I had the engine dyno and tuned. Any tricks that I havnt already tried? Thanks man really like the channel
sounds like its a 6 volt bell housing, is there marks from the flywheel inside the bellhousing?
@@king_vw6177 Kevin at kcr clearanced it but I know that's the problem cuz before I tightened the bolts it would spin but grind
type 4 engine being 20 lbs heavier , then the type 1 .would it not have engine bar at the front of the engine ,to support more . or just having the four bolts off the gearbox ,would either to support it.
That motor was siiiick. He threw a rod at the EMPI open house chassis dyno. He was on a good run then the motor let out at high rpm. Felt bad for the guy. 😢
That's an old Midget racing engine produces almost 300 HP when using Hilborn fuel injected on methanol. Those engines are dry sump. And not sure why they would use a Scat pump because AutoCraft made all of their own parts from the case to the barrels to those Pro Series heads. 170 cubic inches with 3.0 stroke. Made to twist 11000 RPMs If you want to see one of those engines in action inter in TH-cam... USAC MIDGETS, 1983, ASCOT PARK. They race on the quarter mile and half mile.
My '65 baja looked like the white one!
Which Saturday of the month is that meet ? Thanks
second. and they may be moving it to the old Sears parking lot in Riveside. Waiting for the donut shop to open. Once the Randys donuts is open they are going to move the event. SO if you come and see randys donuts open.....Go to the old Sears.
Really nice
103mm piston 82 mm crank
Nice footage, love to have another bug but they have got out of my reach currently.
If anyone wants to join us at that meet you can look up on this facebook and usually he will have an update if the location changes. This meet is on the second Saturday of the month. Usually it is at Van buren and the freeway In and out burger parking lot. against the strip mall empty tenants units. starts at around 6pm and goes till ? as late as maybe 10 or so. There is a new tenant Randys donuts that will be opening soon and when it is open the location will be changing. Tentatively to the old Sears parking lot in Riverside. BUT not for sure. IF you want to come check this facebook for the current location facebook.com/profile.php?id=100009640293417 ......thanks and anyone is invited.
moving to Redlands might run into you rusty 56 with green fenders just towed it out last week
I would love to check it out and shake your hand. I'll be on the look out for the next gathering as I am in Riverside myself.
@@FeveredMind sure anytime. I am almost always at OCTO too.
@@Mikefngarage Awesome! I'll keep an eye out for you. Gonna miss this next OCTO though.
Hey Mike! I don't currently see anything on his page. Meet up tomorrow night? What time?
can you claim that power surge on insurance? I had lightning hit my house twice and it was covered. The lightning fried all my electronics it was a nightmare.
Yea I was going to call my agent. to see. IDK if it is enough damage to have them pay. The pinball machine is a big one though. I dont know how much that will cost.
Yea it was caused by the AC....it blew oil all over my roof. completely fried.
I don’t think an AC unit can cause that kind of surge damage.
How much bhp will it have 👌
210 to the tire.
whahooooooooya....that is power. the top end must feel amazing.
82mm Crank 103/204mm Pistons is 2789cc or 2.8 its Type 4 engine.
Sorry 103mm/104mm
Very Cool Meet Up thecAutoCraft Engined beetle. was nice being a street Car still would be a handfull but also a lot of Fun , sorry to hear about your PowervSurge i had a Television that it happened to 4 times untill i finally found a repair guy that had a Correct Recll addendum that reccomended a $ .69 cent Diode be put in ? some people thought i was Nuts to keep getting it repaired and a Uncle Of mine who was a retired ElectricalEngineer and did television Repair told me that the PowervSurges are way more Common than most people realize itbhascsomething to do with how Old thevGrid is and the Tranferring Stations they still use IDK as i know enough to not touch stuff that can hurt me or aye even kill you because i’m just a Dumb Old Woodworker with a lot of Hobbies
I want a type 4 in our Manx
I recently learned most small cessna planes uses 4cyl aircooled motors. Its not as big as the motor featured in your video. Did my research on that motors looks 100% like a type1 motor.
On the contrary, they are alot bigger in aircraft.
320 and 360 cubic inch 4 cylinder?
How about a 540 6 cyl or a 720 8 cyl?
@@MrTheHillfolk the company name is aeroconversion. The motors there looks like thry are smaller than 2500cc. Take a close look how it looks like a type1 motor
Just give me a Pauter 3.300 ltr Turbo engine around the 350 hp in a Meyer 2 + 2 Dune Buggy with White metallic body & a light blue metallic roof. Oh & it must have the rear spoiler 🌞🌞🌞 ❤ the Bugs
👍
You think you could talk him into an interview and maybe a ride along.
yea i need my microphone. but Yea I could do that.
Anytime for the ride along.
That would be awesome content. And thank you for the quick reply.
Who throws this meet where and when so we can attend
I think its Tony Chrome Facebook. check it out.
I found another video on this guy copy paste ( Autocraft powered VW bug on the streets ) without the brackets put it in search
Saweet little thumper
Cool
how much hp?
was 210 to the tire back with 10.6 to 1 now it has 13.4 to 1 so we will see how much it gained soon. Feels faster
that is RIPPING fast. OMG.....when it was turbo OMG that was super fast probably over 1000hp.
A choice too use this Setup ! Is all in the Owner Perspective ! Most times Less is More ! Also with A 13: To 1 Ratio For a 2800 cc ! With a Four inch bore ! Most 2275 cc - (Torque) & Above ! If setup right from a Great Entrepreneur ! Will get a Comparable Engineered Operational Results ! With Less ! The day's of the Scat, Pauter, Auto Craft , ETC ! Are not a Good Choice to Implement ! Cost, Weight, Longevity , Etc ! Do the Math ? R, D. ☝Don't be a 🦢
Beautiful car and engine. But for the street, at that point, doesn’t it make more sense to go Subaru? A WRX engine is capable of putting out more power with greater reliability and drivability. I get that it’s no longer VW powered, but neither is Autocraft really.
still aircooled at least, you can put a V8 in it also. Or a turbo, This is old school N/A power.
@@king_vw6177 A V8 will not fit under a VW deck lid. A Subaru setup will. It is air cooled but I don’t know that I’d consider this exactly old school. Not a knock on the car, as it’s beautiful.
Subaru takes some serous cutting and changing the timing belt is a nightmare. Reverse rotation. Injection with computer all lots of work. The cooling system for the Subaru conversion has major issues as well. hoses running in places they will get puncture. IMO nightmare. Either go aluminum brazilian case......for Bulletproof street(check cb performance)....Pauter Racing or Autocraft if you want fast reliable power.
An EJ in a bug is just lame as hell …yeah it’s cheaper but who cares you think these guys barely make ends meet ???lmao …..it’s cool factor just flatlines after that move . This build is legendary
@@countryclubpga3309 I disagree about a well built EJ being lame…you’re starting with 3 times the HP of a stock vw. It’s not just about the money. Who wants to have to tear down an engine to repair something that breaks after every other race? Or rebuild a engine annually if you put any significant miles on it while driving it hard ? I love VWs. A well maintained stock VW will go a LOT of miles between overhauls. But you start pushing past 200hp-which is less than a stock GTI these days-and you’re really pushing things with a vw based engine. 200hp is four times what a 66 vw came with from the factory. And little more than a stock EJ25.
