Kvikk Motor 1750 ccm part 2

Here is the rest of the article from Right On magazine 3-88. There are quite a few tricks to learn here. Almost unbelievable that it's 20 years ago already... Looking for Part 3 as well, the dyno test of the engine. More to come..

Kvikk Motor 1750 ccm Part 1

Just scanning through a magazine from 1988 I found an article on modifying a beetle engine.The article was covering the build up of a roadster-project engine in Right On Magazine. The funny thing is that the engine described is a 1750 ccm with 90,0 mm bore built by Kvikk Motor. Just exactly the same engine Fürsten and Knechten tracked down and bought last summer. The same engine used in the 53 Rallye Oval this summer. We did know little or nothing about the engine when we bought it, other than it was nearly broken in. Here we probably have the complete receipe for our engine. Our plan is to supply the engine with a dual carburator set up in the future. Maybe the engine will burn rubber with the zwitter next summer?

Historic Rallye

I found these pictures on a swedish site addicted to roof-mounted search lights. Look at these pictures, it's quite amazing. Today it's hard to imagine someone driving like a mad man on gravel roads in a pre A or a Sunroof Split =) All cars have swedish plates...
