V dubs are cool takes a bit of learning to understand the engineering of them. The power train in them is pretty much bulletproof had my tee pee header red 6” up from head lots of times let it idle to cool down before shutting it off no prob. The only issue I had was the nose cone on transaxle where the shift rod enters. With the rubber mounts and off road conditions with some abuse thrown in it would break that part of the housing so I bolted the engine transaxle solid no more problems. Have parts Fred
