Peter is doing it right, saving patina, saving the soul and spirit from this incredible 1957 Palm Green sand Green we found in the Swedish forests a couple of years ago…:)

BEFORE (how Peter bought it from us)

…and how it looks today, the body is almost completely finished!

Gogogo Peter and finish this beast, we can’t wait to see the result!

Hans, well known from running the BBT counter for over 10 years, started Speedshack when he left BBT.

Speedshack builds VW engines so Hans and BBT is an ongoing story.

Out of his research Hans gives us a lot of feedback.

Today he shares with us how easy you can obtain HP and torque with Auto Linea heads.

Hans said he took stock Auto Linea heads, gave the valve and seats a 3 angle cutting job. He left the ports untouched, modified the compression chambers slightly where he made them same diameter as the cylinder bore diameter and “unshroud” the valves.

These heads he combined with 90.05mm bore cylinders, stock crank and rods with a healthy 8.4/1 compression ratio, for a long engine life.

He used an Engle W100 cam with stock rockers and 2 x Weber 36mm IDF carbs set up with 30mm venturi on just a cheap EMPI hotdog exhaust.

The dyno results are pretty amazing as you can see from the screen above…

A whopping 97.8DinHp over a 145DinNm of torque.

This will be a fun engine to drive for sure!
