[QUOTE="Anthony Collova, post: 5288717, member: 558844"] Also remeber that ACVW engines are most popular for these types of rails because you are pretty much building a vb bug with no shell. Just rails.. ACVW engines are great and powerful but they are also picky *****es that need to be constantly tuned. Check out craigs list or your local junk yards. You can easily get a doner engine out of a wrecked car.. Then, get a 3 rib vw transaxle (.091) with an adaptor plate for that engine.. You wont need an engine much bigger than 2 liters.. 2.5 tops for a starter rail. Some of the more advance guys are running sti engine. 2.5 liter in the 500-600 hp range sometimes... you would kill yourself in somthing like this if you had not experience driving one. There are a ton of good sites out there with tons of info.. Not a cheap hobby by any means.. [/QUOTE]
