NE Volkswagen 13B Swap

Alright guys, I'm going to be restarting my build thread on my 1971 Volkswagen squareback in which will be getting lowered, a type 1 beam conversion, eventual 5 spd Porsche conversion, and a 13B engine swap and then eventually a turbo will be added later on.

The car has lived its entire life in Nebraska and will see its death here as well.

I'm still debating on if i should keep the fuel injection or go with a carb setup (running a poll to see what I should do).

Unless you are real patient and don't mind the engine compartment wiring mess I'd go with the simplicity of a carb. I had kept the injection for my MG Midget project, but recently took it off in favor of a weber. There is already so much to think about, so simple is better. Plus so many components from my donor injection system had deteriorated failure are eminent.
