Hello-

WW does it again!

BTW, I noticed that the lift is .345". I wonder if it will work with 356 crank/rods?

Cheers,

Paul

They keep giving all the lame asses with '60 and earlier type 1s and '58 and earlier type 2s fewer and fewer excuses to not use the correct engine in their vehicle.

I'm going to test fit one next week with a Porsche crank.

They also now sell BERG 36hp sumps!

Looks nice, but I want one of those early round ones.

Thanx again Tony and Shaun.

The 36hp world has come alive again with both stock and high performance parts availability. Now the cam! We owe a deep dept of gratitude to Wolfsberg West for investing so deeply as to make a true difference is what and how we can now approach 36hp high performance engines!

And remember, they are providing a $1000.00 contingency award to the fastest record setting DSS Bug, Bus or Ghia equipped with Wolfsburg West dual port heads this September at the World of Speed.

Gotta love-em! ! !

They fail to inform about LC.
-I guess/hope it is about 108, because the stock cam actually has 240 degree @ 0,040, but much less lift, AND is on 100 LC.

I think the cam can have good potential in theur own Okrasa replica kit

Hello-

In their monthly email they said the lobe center was 105 degrees. Confused

Cheers,

Paul

I assume if I wanted to use straight cut cam gears I could bolt them to this cam?

Straight cut gears work fine, the bolt holes are tapped for 8mm x 1.25 pitch bolts. WW sells no cam gears so you are on your own if you want to run a stock aluminum gear. Sometimes I get good gears on some of the cams I have reground, but lately not very many. The billets are nice, I'm getting ready to run one in one of my cars.

Do you still have these in stock and are these the ones you you would suggest using with the WW cam mentioned above?
