VW engines where popular in the midgets several years ago there is a few still running. They where heavily modified and was over 200hp running manuel fuel injection with methanol. Due to head modifications a lot of them where water cooled too. Also Ron Hottels the designer of sesco engines built his version of a VW with custom block and heads. Most early Sesco's where V8's cut in half. Either cut left or right bank off or cut it down middle to make V4. It didn't take long before these became custom all aluminium blocks. Here is some pics of some VW midgets Grabbed off one of our midget Facebook pages and a Sesco style based off VW that is up for sale. I ran a Sesco Variant called a Canaday Four with Dart Buick style heads and also Gearte engines with different heads on it threw out years all custom blocks. Never ran the VW stuff
These are of Sesco style VW believe this one still for sale
