Motorbreath's Chenowth 2 Seat Play Car

Offroad VW based vehicles have problems/insights all their own. Not to mention the knowledge gained in VW durability.

The 160hp ecotec was fun...

The 250hp Honda was outstanding...

I wonder what 400 would feel like?

Every time I've brought a v8 near a buggy, I've run out of money and had to sell off everything before it was running.... Let's hope this ends better.

What are you putting in front of that?

And I think that the air cleaner might not work that well where it is.

I'm going to run a 2d.
And yea, the air cleaner will have to move. That's where it lived with the Honda.

I was running an 091 with the Honda. I sold both those to fund the ls2. I'm about 1/4 way saved up for the 2d. Pretty excited.

So, between the sale of my other motor/trans and some good fortune with extra shifts, I was able to come up with a second hand Redline Performance LS2 and a 2d.

The ls2 is basically stock rotating assembly save for ARP hardware. It does have Redline's cam that they refuse to tell you anything about :roll:, a MEFI-4b ecu, 90mm throttle body (90!? this thing "may" not get the fuel milage that the honda did...) and all the appropriate buggy "stuff"

Trans is your run-o-the mill 2D.

Purrrdy.

So... off road wheelie bars?
(Only half kidding)
Addendum to Newtons first law:
zero vehicles on jackstands, square gets a fresh 090 and 1911, cabby gets a blower.
EZ3.6 Vanagon after that.(mounted, needs everything finished) then Creamsicle.
