Never Be Afraid

1965 -The good old VW bug, I purchased a Holley 500cfm 2 barrel carb, couldn't change the intake with out removing the generator(single port heads). Thought it would be easier to do if I removed the engine, out it comes, well now me might as well put a headers on it, but wait lets spilt the case and put a crane 3/4 race cam( what ever that is?) Got it all back together with only a few parts still on the ground. Fired it up, adjusted carb and timing. Did anyone re-adjust the valves? Off to the track LVD, took the fan belt off for more power. Ran mid 16's I think. Than the noise oh lord! Drove back home just as I got in the driveway boom. Didn't tighten the flywheel bolt to 300ft lbs. new crank etc, fun fun, I think we rebuilt it and blew it up at less 3 more times.
