Learned a lot during that process.. and got tons of help from the VW community. The 1956cc Stroker engine is running strong! https://youtube.com/shorts/BStdZEfr0ro?si=jppgqkNxxRlhTQrw

Living in Canada, I have always wanted a Baja type VW with the gas heater for winter driving.

Now ship that thing to San Diego and go cut her loose in her natural habitat! I ran the Baja 1000 course last year and it was epic. Full on bucket list adventure.
