1970 VW Bay Window with a 2.5L Subaru Motor

Published in engineswapdepot.com

Fellows Speed Shop specializes in swapping Subaru motors in VW Type 2s and Beetles. This 1970 VW Early Bay Window Bus (T2a) is no longer powered by an air-cooled 1.6 L flat-four. It is now powered by a naturally-aspirated 2.5 L EJ25 flat-four producing 180 hp (132 kW). In front of that is a custom VW transaxle built by John Walklett Transmissions with upgraded internals and longer-ratio gears. Fellows Speed Shop upgraded the handling with their Wilwood four-piston front brake conversion. The rear brakes still use drum brakes. Other modifications include Protech adjustable shocks and adjustable beam with drop spindles.
