those old aircooled vewees dont have timing chains. I can appreciate the vw motors for their compactness. The crankgear spins the cam gear in the opposite direction. The cam is below the crank and is swimming in oil. One cam lobe operates two valves. I used to mess aroung with them back in the 90's. But I never thought about trying to get one to go quickly. If i wanted to go fast i would get in the belvedere. I'm open to all forms of mechanical automobilia endevours. I just like the Mopar A-bodies more than the others.
love them small block mopars!! (but an old VW is cool in its own way)
