I have a vintage Corbin VW adapter kit and the GE aircraft starter generator it
used, thinking of converting a bug I have laying around, would like to use a
more modern motor. I was wondering if anyone on the list had found a motor that
is a good fit HP and voltage wise (120v or so) for a bug?

You probably should also check out the EV album where there are many bugs
that have already been converted. A quick look at the first 20 or so
suggests that most people just use the stock tranny but here's one that
doesn't:

In my experience converting a VW or similar car, when using a AC motor, best
advice is to keep the tranny and go clutch less using 3rd gear only.
Shifting can still be accomplished as long as you don't hurry with the shift
and the synchromesh is in good shape. Also, best to put the regeneration on
