"It's a bittersweet moment for me with this engine. This is the winning Engine Builder's Shootout Engine from 2007. About 6 months ago, I was contacted by Bruce McKean, a colorful older person from Queensland, Australia. Bruce wanted an engine he could brag to his friends about. He frequently referred to the Shootout Engine as something that resembled the look and power he was after. When I told Bruce that this engine was available, he had to have it! Worried that my 84 year old customer might have a handful with this engine and not wanting him to get hurt, I slightly de-tuned it. Compression is now at 9:1, the camshaft has been changed to our #2288, Ignition is our Magna-Spark Ready-to-Run using an MSD digital 6AL box in conjunction with our programmable Black Box. The exhaust was changed to a custom A-1 Low-Down with 1 3/4" primaries and custom made 1 3/4" heater boxes.
The engine will be going into a 1973 Karmann Ghia. Bruce plans on driving it to car shows and the local "old Timers" hangouts. With 200 HP and close to 170 ft/lbs. of torque, I'm sure he will have fun with it as i did in the shootout."

Air cooled VW engines are fascinating machines and a joy to see in action. So much more mystic than a monstrous lump of cast iron.

I had a 1910 in a 71 super beetle baja . It was built by the empi company to showcase all of their parts. Was custom painted 9 color oldschool fade style by a well known guy that I can never remember the name of. Got it for 2 grand barely running and spent 3 days fixing and turning it and it did wheelies in first second and a bit in third gear with 35x12.50 tires on it. Sold it for around 5 grand afterwards. Still wish I had kept it.

[@zzzz1192]

So rad! Great to hear a story behind the motor

[@modelcitizen72]

I could see this making a very happy Porsche 912.

[@conflyyto]

beautiful

[@KrustyKlown]

almost 100hp per liter in an old air cooled engine... pretty awesome!!!

[@thehumanoid6543]

what's weirder is that it's a pushrod design, so it doesn't rev at all

[@johnpierce4638]

Had a 2180 that cranked out just over 180 hp!

[@ArizonaOval]

he should have fun!!!

[@craigmonteforte1478]

There is something so satasfying about the sound of taking a VW aircooled motor and turning it into a 200 horsepower machine especially knowing it originally was made to have 36 horses In a stock configuation i actually have 2 freinds that are brothers and both are mechanics in a family business one is a Chevy drag racer and the other is a VW guy Ive always loved hearing them argue over their opinions The VW guy has a point with his brother who is always building first generation Camaros or 55thru 57 Bel Airs and does spend ridiculous amounts of money to get a car dialed in to his liking where the VW guy Has his machining costs but many of the parts are pretty in expensive he often purchases at swap meets and other gatherings at his leisure we all lived relatively close to Carlyle Pa. and could drive there for the day and back home the same day

[@jwhrivnak]

Great story

[@kenadams3951]

You to make the WIRE'S in the video look nicer and clean that up. I do love you motors...

[@sammshere12]

Air cooled coming back baby!

[@71cuco]

Es posible que en un motor stroker 1745 cc presente sobre dimensionamiento de la medida de la bancada en el bloque de manera súbita(en 800 km de funcionamiento) el bloque es un AS41?

[@tegaragungsubagyo6170]

What series engine from cb performance is sugest for long distance touring purpose for air cooled vw engine?

[@evilbeetlekustomscreations4965]

Has anyone had any problem with serpentine belts not slipping enough and their fans exploding even though they're balanced? I mean if CB using them they must be successful but I've heard a lot of bad things and I'm about ready to purchase an MST kit

[@ollie1464]

I need this engine for my 1978 Super Beetle convertible. Where can I find something like this I live in Southern California?

[@RacerX-124]

That sounds beautiful. How is the longevity of an engine like this? Is it a 1/4 mile at a time engine, or could it be put to use road racing or in a street car and have reasonable life? Your kits are extremely tempting.

[@CBperformance]

Pat's Engines are built to last. With proper care and maintenance, they should last for a very long time.

[@RacerX-124]

CBperformance Thank you!

[@ELECTRIC_WIZARD_]

Pats an over glorified engine builder his way or the highway

[@rbr1302]

What are the specifications for this engine compression ratio and cameras they are using

[@CBperformance]

+roger benitez Please see the description above.

[@ELECTRIC_WIZARD_]

This is a perfect example of the personal service u get at cb. Bunch of snooty assholes

[@seansullivan4709]

Imagine this engine in a Puma!

[@hobofuck88]

are the intake manifolds regular size or short?

[@CBperformance]

Regular size. These are CB's IDA Big Beef Manifolds.

[@kenadams3951]

Me again look at the wires Thanks Ken Adams from Pennsylvania

[@rbr1302]

what minimum jets are used in carbs?

[@charlesmartin7347]

Oooooooowie you sexy beast. Not the Man the motor .✌️

[@ironicchannelname6457]

I saw a vw engine that could rev to 11,000 what would it take to build this?

[@mauriciomarino6669]

I’m restoring a 1973 beetle. I need and engine like that and an automatic transmission. Can you help me. Thanks

[@maks-hg2yq]

what would 0-60 be like with this engine on a beetle? (new transmission of course).

[@radomillion]

That's what I would really like to know as well. I've had a few fast cars in the past and Horsepower means nothing to me. The only way you can get an idea of how fast a car is, is by 0-60, 1/4 mile times.

[@jlzb19]

Hi cb performance, I'm from venezuela, you said that an engine like this has a cost of 10,000 dollars and with the gearbox how much I would get ... I'm looking for an imported engine for my vw and I want it ready to just ride, thanks

[@davidcataldo1222]

Who's the guy in the pic... Pat Downs or the guy in Australia ?

[@CBperformance]

That is a pic of Pat Downs next to one of his Turnkey Engines.

[@BunnyBUNGALO]

How much would this engine cost me? Have a 73 ghia with a tired 1776cc and want more power in it

[@CBperformance]

Hard to say, but ballpark would be $9,500.

[@DOOMSDAYD-KILLS-EVERYONE]

I don't think he liked the price. Lol

[@ahmedghali3270]

how much does it coast motor like that

[@CBperformance]

Well over $10,000 with all the features.

[@giberto7483]

How much does a motor like this cost?

[@CBperformance]

Well over $10,000, with all the features.

[@hyperbipolar7952]

how much bro

[@cobusvanniekerk83]

Very nice with our currency to expensive better to go subaru ten times cheaper

[@freetobe3]

MPG?

[@CBperformance]

Sorry, we do not have this information.

[@newking70]

if you have to ask.....

[@lrreidjr]

FreeToBe great question, I wonder what the MPG is on a heavily modified Air cooled engine.

[@josecortez5213]

Who cares?

[@taproom113]

@@lrreidjr I have a 2300 series engine built to @ 220 HP in a 2006 Trikeshop Roadhawk Limited Edition. My average is 16 MPG ... @ 20 MPG highway at legal speeds. Hope this helps ... ^v^
