Outstanding gentlemen! You've restored our faith in the almighty Vee Dub. ;)

very cool

Anybody out there who knows anyone building high powered waterboxer engines? It'd be really helpful if someone told me because I'm at a fork in the road with choosing an engine for my project car right now and I'm trying to avoid anything air-cooled.

3:1 power to weight ratio? That's Hyabusa territory. Thanks for the uploading this video.

It's a water boxer from a Vanagon? I know these blocks are type 1 basically with water jackets did you mail off the water jackets and use oversize pistons and cylinders and is there an advantage to the block having sleeves in the lifters

The engine was still water-cooled! The piston and crank are stock sized!!! If you go to theshoptalkforums and look up 'All Torque - 1856 Oval', you'll find the 'build' of it.

The sleeved lifters allow you to run Type 1 lifters (lightweight solids that'll allow revs) over the hydraulic lifters which don't like going over 5,000 rpm if my recollection is correct.
