Surfing the web for info on suspension
This is what I found! CLICK THE LINKS!
Look at the race car featured in the middle of the page!
Resurrection of a rotten convertible. Here you will see documentation of how this family builds a v8 convertible beetle. It is quite wild. Click on the tabs "Our Project" and "Construction" to see more links!
One day I will build one of these! Turbo BEAST engine. This thread is the build and R&D process of Jim's Turbo Drag Race Beetle.
Look at what race cars used to be in the past...

Was trying to find information
What kind of transmission do we have??? Ever think of that? We know what motor we have. We are going to test it soon. We have a transmission, but that is all we know. Does it have gear oil? How do we check? Is it a good one? Is it the correct year? Is it for the Beetle or the bus? HOW DO WE KNOW?! (research...)
This is where I started, but needed to clarify some findings..
Stumbled upon this.. He has listed lots of information here.
Although it refers to the VW BUS, parts are similar and show many different part numbers.
I've been so entertained reading this guys challenges!
Here is some very helpful engine tech/knowledge!
More transmission info, but it conflicts with the first link...
ASK KELVIN what model transmission we have. He found it today..
