Check this out.  Have you seen these conversions before?

most of these cars get 28mpg on thier most popular 34hp motor which we have.  superior in efficiency if you ask me for the hp/mpg ratio.
that setup eleminates heat which 80% of the the serious drivers of thier vintage cars need.  my Ghia has wayyy too much heat.  i figured out what all you need to do to make it work correctly so the lazy asses out there who says bugs dont have heat are full of it.  such a simple system.

i like the conversion though, and his math is dead on with respect to the return on investment.  its almost arguable if gas goes down to 2bucks a gallon if we take the max distance out of the equasion.,, which to me isnt an opiton.

ive never understood why with such a converstion kit a 4wheel recharge system isnt employed. ,,, ,, one of the first things i would solve before hand.

but like the add says, buy the car so you feel good about yourself.
