link to record engine swap video
Anybody have a link to a video of one of the record attempt VW engine
swaps? Nobody here believes me that the record is around 2 mins. I have the one from the Guinness site but that's cheating, they had the 1st one already off the ground, at least in the video. I want one where they have to drive it up, swap engines then drive away. TIA JohnF aprox. 1 hr getting mine out but it's been sitting on the floor for 3 weeks now. |

link to record engine swap video
At one of the old Bug-In's, at Orange County Int'l Raceway, Fred Simpson, and Rand "Zubie" Foster entered the engine pull contest, which was this: The Type 1 had to pass a tech inspection, to ascertain that all bolts, nuts, cables, etc were on, and tight. At the sound of the "GO" the two-man team went up 10 feet, jacked up the car, put it on jack stands, pulled the engine, pulled it back 10 feet, pulled it forward 10 feet, re-installed the engine, dropped the car off the jack stands (which were required, no pulling the engine with 2 floor jacks, one on the car, one on the engine!) started the car, and drove forward 10 feet. They managed this in 2 minutes, 17 seconds..... what makes this even more remarkable is the fact that in that time, they did it TWICE.... In that particular engine pull contest, they came in 1st... *AND* 3rd, all in the same contest. There is an old Super-8 video of Fred and Rand pulling this off (or out, as the case may be) and I believe Dan from Ocean Street Video is in the process of cleaning up the graininess, and transferring it to DVD. I've seen the video, and it really happened. Those two look like well-oiled machinery whern they do it. it's pretty obvious they had rehearsed this manuver once or twice...even (a very young-looking) "Dyno Don" Chamberlin was impressed... |
