Big with case machining or without?

Without machining the case then 1641 if you still want it to work. If you machine the case then say 2.3 :D

How to Hot Rod Volkswagen Engines is quite a good read to get you started with the basics :thumbs:

Try Amazon.com

Laurie Petit is up in your neck of the woods and could explain things better for you.

Ulimately depends on how deep your pockets are, and engine isnt the end of the costs, you will have uprated gearbox, brakes, carbs and the list goes on
