I have been bitten by the vw bug and sandrail years ago. I built 3 sandrails and had daily driver bugs. One was a 62 sunroof beetle. There is a lot of understanding to these engines and transaxels. The gear ratio's of the bugs were mostly 4:12"s. The buses were like 5:38 iirc. The problem with the motors were that leaves and dirt built up on top of the heads by going trough the air cooled fan. After that its life is limited. Also #3 cylinder had the air coming from the hot oil cooler and then cooled #3 cyl. All the other cylinders received cooler air. Also there was only an oil screen, no filter. I would put an extra large external cooler and external filter on them with a high volume pump. Removed the stock oil cooler. There has been about as much modification done with the vw motor as a small block chevy.
