I had similar thoughts for my '72 Midget. However, after reading Mr Vizard, I've pretty well decided that I'd rather do some mods to the original engine. It doesn't take all that much to get 100 HP o

I did a lot of research and exploring to do this on my '68 project several years ago. Probably the two easiest are the RX7 and the Datsun 210 engines. They are probalby the best choices for size and

According to Mr Vizard, an engine putting out 100HP could pull from 1250 RPM in 4th gear if properly set up. I'd say that's more streetable than stock. 125 HP would not be very friendly in Innocentiv

In need of an example to put my 60 Bugeye back together, Glen was gracious enough to allow me to wander over to his place for a look-see of his turbo Bug. ( Did I say turbo). Lets just say my diminis
