The Volkswagen air cooled engine is an air-cooled boxer engine with four horizontally opposed cast iron cylinders, cast aluminium alloy cylinder heads and pistons, magnesium crankcase, and forged steel crankshaft and connecting rods.

Variations of the engine were produced by Volkswagen plants worldwide from 1936 until 2006 for use in Volkswagen's own vehicles, notably the Type 1 (Beetle), Type 2 (bus, transporter), Type 3, and Type 4. Ultimately, the engines were widely used in industrial, aircraft and kit car applications.

3.50 min. | 4.96 user rating		 Major flat six custom build from a wreck! Bus had been left to rot at the back of a barn for 6 yrs. It was going to be converted to a burger bar :( Didn't relish that idea so I'm now in the middle of converting it into a VW / Porsche hybrid. Shouldn't get into too much of a pickle? It can't be that hard . . . can it?? My T'rusty steed is no longer FeO2, having replaced everything below knee height [to a girraff] and strengthened wherever neccesary. All sections made up in galv wherever possible + every weld fully treated. I've had the new engine in the back just to make sure it fits [it does - JUST, but had to re arrange a few ancillaries to allow it to slot in!] but took it out again to set up for the conversion and any little niggles.. ha ha man have there been some! Glad I did; now that it's sorted; it needs chucking into the back of the bay though I need 2 progress some more mods first. All drive train is matched 911 [the 915 gearbox cost me the same price that I paid for the bus!] and lines up really well. I've strengthened the chassis already whilst doing the renovation or should that read 'resurection'? Have also encorporated quick release features into this engine swap should it ever have to be removed in the future for repairs etc. Still a long way to go before Mubbsi hits the streets, but when she does circa 2008/2009, the sun is just gonna keep shining! Even if I had decided not to go for the custom conversion and just stuck with the standard re-build it would <b>...</b>

3.38 min. | 3.92 user rating		 latest update of the long awaited MUBBSI trilogy; shorter than the 'Lord of the Rings' offering - but arguably better?....... :) I bet Frodo couldn't put a VeeDub together anyroad? 3yrs on & less than 1 to go, & believe me, I should know! At least the engine + ancillaries are mostly done, additional forced draught airflow for the oil cooler and engine bay ventilation are still on the 'to do' list but at least she's running and no leaks! Just another 600 bits n' pieces to finish off then this baby hits the streets; then heading abroad and North the year after looking for glaciers - with a bit of luck! Anyone out there up for forming an air cooled convoy? Should be COOL!! 2010, I'm looking forward to it already :) Musical accompanyment by Blu Cantrell; she could help anyone BREATHE deeper. Sit back, turn up the volume, and enjoy :)
