The beauty of this thing is I've got the engine and tranny out.. the front end is off (fenders, grill, etc... I'm in no hurry to slap this together as I'm planning on working on it over the winter. I like the idea of keeping the 235. Love the look and I just think it looks a whole lot nicer than another 350/350 combo as was stated earlier. My trouble is that I want this car to do everything. I want to cruise town, and be able to hit the highway (at highway speeds). I want reliability...I'm basically putting together a family cruiser. I also want accessory availability! Making it look nice with all the neat little performance parts is half the fun (dual carb intakes, split exhaust manifolds, Chrome valve covers, etc.). With all that said...I'll take a look at the rear end and see what I have. I like the idea of perhaps switching to a 292? What year / models did that engine come in? Will I need new mounts for the motor? Oh so many questions. Really appreciate all your help. I've been restoring Volkswagens for such a long time that it's really refreshing to work on something else for a change.
