2008年1月2日 · V8 1973 VW Beetle Project - Help Needed! what about putting in a front wheel drive motor and tranny in it ? i've seen a 455 olds tornado crammed under one . a old bud had a 454 in one with a short 400 turbo with the bolt in U joint . he had it where the motor moved for the slack in it needed when the torque twisted the rear pinion up .

2008年10月25日 · As some of you know I'm building a 350 powered 69 convertible beetle, I know the beetle bodies have been put on s10 frames, but how about a s10 blazer frame?? I've talked to a few people on V8 S10 forums and they mentioned that it might work better to drop the body on a blazer chassis because it has the gas tank in the back already where the ...

2008年2月27日 · Are you planning on building a V8 bug? If so, any year S-10 chassis will work. Your best bet is to go with a regular cab short bed S-10 chassis. But really, any S-10 will work, you just have to cut the frame so the wheelbase is 94.5" for a beetle or 95.25" for a super beetle, which is what I have. I used a 94 S-10 extended cab frame.

2005年6月27日 · Hello all! I'm in the process of building a V8 Bug out of my 1973 VW Super Beetle. I know this is possible because it's been done before.

2009年1月31日 · Hello everyone, I had a little time to update my website on our V8 Beetle Project so I figured I’d give you guys an updated, post some pictures and share the link to my site. We Bought an S-10 about a month ago and I finally am getting around to putting up pictures.

2014年10月15日 · v8 vw i looked into this many yrs ago.. did some measuring a found out that the S10 or blazer frame is a good fit. wheel base is right too. now thats a frame in the 70's early 80's.. using the s10 makes it alot easier to do a v8 with many conversion kits.

2015年11月3日 · So now I'm thinking of building a front-engine, V8 track car out of it (this idea was ysparked by Andy (?) Nelson's V8 Bug in the GRM Challenge). There used to be a company that built pre-fab chassis for front-engine V8 Beetles. They used to be at prostreetbug.com. Does anybody know what happened to them or if anyone else offers something similar?
