In about 1973 Peter Brock (from the USA not Australia) did a very similar conversion using the alloy buick engine that the P76 was derived from. He used it to go off road to follow hot air ballooning. Peter Brock owned Brock Racing Enterprises BRE who were commissioned by Nissan Japan to make sure that Nissan were competitive in racing. He built Paul Newmans race 240Z's and marketed a whole range of competition Nissan parts.

Get More Pics! Can I E-mail some of mine? I am in the never ending task of restoring my '74 Super Beetle. I am approaching it as if it were a hot rod potential body. New updated styles and amenities. I have a paint job coming right now with two tone orang on top and faded to black. After the Paint goes on the '56 fender walls in the front and the black '74 with white out tail lights. If all goes as my demented mind wants it will belong here on your site for anyone else to view. PS- Rear suicide doors are xpensive! Damn!

Great Site! My old man has a 91 Caravelle and I've been talking to him about a Holden V6 coupled to a Porsche tranny. Any ideas on the cost and ease of this job? I've spent the last 5 years building my Baja bug. It's powered by a 2.3L T1 engine with all the mods except fuel injection which will come with time. My gearbox has modified ratios and I'm running a 2.5 inch lift kit. I'm running a swing axle box at prese t and I'm disappointed with the ground clearance but I'll eventually build a whole new pan with an 1800 kombi box and adjustable front end. Paint is BMW metallic and the job cost me $1800 in materials only. Fully reclining sports seats, full new upholster and Cd stack, amplified stereo. Thanks again and it's good too see clean photos.

That blue Karmann Ghia is one of the coolest cars I've ever seen in my life. Seriously. And I love cars. I just bought my first brand new car, a 2000 VW Jetta VR6. It's great. I want a Karmann Ghia convertible though. In high school, there was one f r $3000 up the street, dark green and in great shape. I fell in love. I could only afford my $800 Escort. I will seek out that little green guy again, and wish I knew then what I know now, I should have taken a loan from Pop for that car and kept it. ong live VW.

Your Picture Of the Ghia Is The neatest car I have ever seen in my life. I love VW's and I have 1970 Bug that is sort of a Baja Bug and a 1974 sun Bug that is Going to be a real Baja Bug I am Putting New Floorpans in it right now. My coolest VW is my '69 estfalia I have seen some Baja Busses and they are pretty neat I am considering turning it into a Baja, But it is pretty nice and all of the factory items are still intact so I don't want to ruin the beautiful Bus. I want to get a Karmann Ghia and restor it but they are really hard to find around here In fact, it is really hard to find any volkswagens in Kansas If you could help me find any, please tell me where

Rear wheel arches were cut out long ago, oversize tires are on the ack, the body has major rust, and my son modified the 1600 engine. Will the front end be hard to do on the old splittie?

Looks like you used a Kennedy Engineered adapter. I tried using a Buick V-6 on mine 68. It worked. It was one of those Howard Hughes type of experiments. I just wanted to see if I could do it. I have plans for the Pheonix camper van that was issued by Pop lar Mechanics way back in the late 70's. I would still like to build a V8 powered bus with this conversion. Think I'll use a Land Rover V-8. All aluminum block and plenty of sources. Might even try to put in a VW TDI engine. Plenty of torque. Good Luck wi h your new toy.

Great site!! I have owned three type 2 volkswagens. My last two were Pop-top campers. The "ORANGE" had a blown engine when I bought it, as did all the VW's i have owned. I had never heard of alternative motors for vans. I decided to install a FORD 2.3lt cyl with the radiator inside the engine compartment(stock looking).It ran like a charm but the stock intake and carb did not allow room for an air cleaner, minor problem. I put 30 miles on the engine and 30 gallons of water on the radiator to cool it dow in 10 roadside stops (BIG PROBLEM). Then added a secound cooling unit flat under the floor and added two more electric fans, still overheated. While looking for parts I found my latest curse A 1976 green camper with all origional interior, 36000 origiona miles, kept in a garage by an old lady << NO SHIT>> 1200 dollars. Did i forget to mention the engine fire that disabled it? Well three days later with new webbers I was camping . Three weeks later I was walking. Dropped valve, lost engine. Now I am back o the ford idea and a minor lift for taller tires. I've got good info on this cheep swap, now that I got the radiator problem tastifully fixed,and local lines on many cheap bus parts. Any one interested please e-mail me. I will try to send some photos of he 2.3 swap soon. Thanks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Kewl Site!!!! Looking for more power for my dad's 82 Vanagon. You have hit the nail on the head. Dad's winter car is a Ford Tempo with a 3L V6, and that is more like the motor VW should have been using in a van as heavy as a Vanagon. The woods around here are too rough for a VW, but I bet yours is a blast... but doesn't the extra height make it tippy side-to-side?

Steve, MOST impressed with what you have done!! Where do you live? No hint. . I have an 82 Transporter (Auto, aircooled). I have read about a few conversions over the years, but wasn't sure how they would be accepted by authorities in Australia. I'd be interested in hearing your comments. I understand some of the Subaru engines it well into a VW (with work orf course). I suspect the vertical depth of the engine bay in our vehicle would prevent the sort of engine you have used from going in. The Subaru engines are flatter. Any comments? (I had by engine rebuilt at about 160,000. I had had it since 84 and did about 100,000 in it, very happily. Obviously we don't use it a LOT. It too is a camper - a Trakka -.) Regards from Brisbane.
