that doghouse is a serious downgrade from the OG doghouse if those outlets extend into the airstream like the one in the picture, and you have no thermostat and flaps

I gone from single port tinware to twin so could not find a good set around so went for new at vw aircool. He an engine builder with good rep so I’m hoping all be good.

With my 1776 I went with a trans rebuild. New crown and pinion. The only gearing I had changed was a higher 4th which is helpful over here in Canada on the Highway. In the UK it might help if you are doing a lot of motorway driving. Cooling? I have a deep sump and external oil filter. Did put in an oversize fan which broke up on me so went back to original fan. Seems to operate within temp.

I’ve got a single port 1776 with the higher 4th gear as well, and the torque can keep me at 60 on normal grades. I trimmed the center out of a SP manifold and use the legs with a DP center and 34pict-3 carb, so it breathes better than a stock SP. I’m thinking of installing DP heads with dual kads I have in my parts stash to see what that gains me, but I’m enjoying the bus too much as it is!
