Just bought my boy a MBX11 and found this site as (you guessed it) the stock motor is a dog. Likely looking at a jack shaft upgrade soon. Maybe a motor swap later.
BUT, I found this thread and its right up my alley. I built a kit car a few years ago and thought I'd share. Its based on a '70 VW Bug frame and running gear. '71 1600dp engine. Thats right, 40hp! It'll do 70mph on the highway, but doesn't like to. Still gets 25mpg. Not bad for a 40+yo motor. Enjoy.
