Re: Moter swap ?
Thats if you stay with a STOCK 40 HP Vw engine. If you go 100 plus a VW aircooled simply becomes not nearly as reliable and is way out of the range it was ever intended to be! Hope this clears some issues up.
An electric heater is not a real good choice. I would stick with water heater system. As far as the Subaru engine swap. It is all the rage in the dune buggy industry. Its actually a very good engine. For simplicity and ultimate reliability I would stay with the VW AIR cooled engine. You dont have all those extra parts involved in a water cooled engine to worry about. Thats why air cooled engine ARE more reliable.
