Looking at a long range plan to upgrade my oval to a later tunnel trans with a more powerful motor. If I can source a replacement trans and related parts, I'll keep the current split-case trans and 36HP motor mothballed for the next owner to achieve stock nirvana. I want to upgrade in my lifetime, so I can drive this on the freeway and get killed by a semi tractor truck in the middle lane.

And yes, at age 67, I'm aware that "long range plans" have a limited shelf life. :lol:

So, if anyone is sitting on some mid '60's beetle stuff that they want to unload (a tranny, axles, tubes, backing plates or drums) let me know.

Call Bill Hickmont at B&D Custom Performance. He is strictly a VW trans shop in Owosso Mi. Super reasonable and he can set you up with a drum to drum rearend.

Then head a few blocks to see this pile sitting on jack stands...
