Building a V8stealthbeetle Roadster: Step 2 Prepare, fit and start the engine

This video is part 2 in a 4 part series of videos where we show you how to build one of our #V8stealthbeetle Roadsters from scratch, using our high grade aluminum chassis and components, a Chevy LS3 motor and Getrag 6 speed manual transaxle, and a completely face-lifted original VW Beetle body. In Step 2 we have a mountain to climb. First we prepare the #ChevyLS3 6.2l motor, then we slide it into the already built (see Step 1 video) chassis, then we connect everything up and lastly we fire up the 430hp beast. As a special bonus just for you at the end we place our already prepared #Roadster body over the whole lot to see just how stunning she will look.
