PA/MD Line No, I still think a VW engine is the way to go. There is Soooo much you can do with one of those that speed won't be a problem and you wouldn't have to add all that extra weight in engine and reinforcement. _________________ -Tom- KidNme Motorsports President Mini-Buggy Riding Assoc.

Parts are deffinately affordable in the VW route and there's a sick amount of potential in those things. _________________ Name: Brian Ride: 2006 800cc GK25a Moore Exhaust K&N Intake Tuned Suspension Poly Gas Tank Triple Gauge Pod Tach, Water Temp, and Oil Pressure Gauges L.E.D.

I just happen to have a buick park avenue lying around with a supercharged motor. I also checked for the fun of it and I can buy an adapter for about 440 dollars.comes with the flywheel and I can use the stock pressure plate and clutch. So all in all, it really isn't that bad of a project. A bit on the obnoxious side but I would hope it will do wheelys. I still haven't decided yet. But it is cheaper than modding out my vw motor. A decent twin carb set up alone is about 500 bucks. The 3.8 liter is supercharged and fuel injected already,not to mention liquid cooled. And if that isn't enough power I can also get the chip for the computer and a smaller diameter pulley for the supercharger. Yea I know I'm sick and I need help I am just entertaining the idea. But where I ride the stock vw motor was already overkill for power. It's almost just more cost effective to put the buick motor in at this point. Right now I am just waiting and looking for a good deal on a vw motor. I'm sure I will find something.

That would be insane in a VW sized buggy. I say do it!
