Beetle Drag Racing Heads for Sale
Posted: Mar Fri 28, 2008 1:53 am
I have a pair of heads up for sale off of my ex-wife's drag Beetle. It's been over 10 years since she ran it, and I'm not sure of the specs anymore, but I know we had paid around $1200 for the pair, and the motor she was running was mathematically figured out to be around 255 horsepower and was a hair over 3000cc (her dad actually built the motor.) I believe her fastest run was around 9.5 seconds.
These heads had been sitting in my garage in PA for 5 years, then sitting in my shed here in Montana for the past 5 years, so they definitely need to be cleaned up. I also know that they only had 7 runs on them, so they're barely used. Also, if I remember correctly, the valves are 48mm and 40 mm. It's also 1.25" from the face of the head to the valves, and they were ported and polished when we bought them but since they've sat for so long they'll definitely need to be repolished. Also, I believe they're set up for a 94mm bore.
I have no clue what they're worth, so I'm putting them here for offers, and I'd like to see somebody get some use out of them. I'm not sure how streetable they are, but I can take them to work in Missoula with me for anyone local who'd like to take a look, and hopefully you can figure out all the details on them.
