Description
Universal Magnesium Engine Case, 85.5mm, Fits Bug, Super Beetle, Ghia, Thing, and up to 1971 Bus.
New AS-41 engine case for VW. These cases will fit Bug, Ghia, Type 3, Thing, and Bus (Thru ’71) as stock replacement applications for 1500 and 1600CC. This new magnesium case has 8mm head stud steel case inserts and dual oil relief. Some cleanup work may be required before assembly, as is normal with ALL new engine cases. Over the years, this engine case has been used to build much larger motors. To do this, extra machine work is required.
The complaint about the Aluminum cases is the weight. We have found that the stock aluminum case weighs 45 lbs, whereas this AS-41 mag case only weighs approximately 25 lbs!
No assembly hardware is included with this case, but So Cal Imports sells everything needed to complete this case to a running motor! If you have any questions, call or E-mail us. We are always here to help!
Note: The engine case is designed to match exact factory specs and is manufactured in the same factory that the OE Volkswagen case was.
Fitment Note: Though this part can fit 1966 and older vehicles, it will not work to build a 25/36/40hp or 1300cc motor(s). So Cal Imports will not be responsible for shipping charges should you need to return this item.
Warranty Note: Manufacturer warranty is 6 months from the date of purchase for manufacture defects. Machining this engine case to make a larger CC motor will void all warranties.
