I've queried the buskatiers list in the past about this but thought I would 
pick the brains of this group to see what everyone had to say.  Slowly but 
surely the engine in Li'l Red is getting tired.  It's nothing that bothers 
me seriously - he doesn't smoke or anything yet but it's brought to mind a 
question I have often wondered.  What is the largest displacement VW engine 
a person can build and run a single barrel carburetor on?  I know in theory 
you should be able to build a nice Berg 2180 and bog it down with a nice 
single barrel carb but I know of no actual proven combination one can use. 
I've thought of doing like a 1915 with a Weber progressive but I read and 
hear dual opinions.  I don't want to run to duals and I want chokes.  So 
what does that limit me to?  Maybe a stock engine with a DLI blower? LOL!  I 
love the reliability of the stock setup but would love a little more power 
as well.

Thanks for the insights.
