Gene Berg was 'the man'
Woohoohoohoo! Two personal records! For breath holding and number of sharks shot in the face.

"Yelling out of cars, turning your speakers out the window to blast your music onto the street, setting off M-80 firecrackers, firing automatic weapons into the airâ€"these are all well and good. But none of them create a merry atmosphere of insouciance and bonhomie quite like a revving motorcycle.

That's awesome, nobody here ever heard of Gene. He did amazing stuff with the VW.

I have a ton of crap from him.  His wife used to toss in tons of Zotz with the orders.  His sons took over, I think.  I haven't hand my hands in a old VW in ages. 

That bus I rebuilt had a completely reworked crank.. stroked to 74mm.  Gene did the heads himself.  He was a huge proponent of moderate compression engines, so all of his street engines had 6.8-7.2:1 compression IIRC.  He also sold that Oberg filter setup for the VW with the element sensor which I put on all my cars. 

The only one I never got to work on was  a Notchback.  I restored several "station wagons" (buses) and all the bugs, ghias and squarebacks, but never a notchback.

Stumbled across this. :D
My old coach fitted his out with an "Elefant" motor kit.  I forget the actual capacity, it was more than 2 litres, maybe three or more with Porsche hot up parts. Cant remember the details. You guys would know about those ay?
