EMPI HD Bubble-Top Engine Case | VW Type 1 Air-Cooled | 94mm Bore, 8mm Studs (98-0467-B)

EMPI HD Bubble-Top Aluminum Engine Case — 94mm Bore, 8mm Studs (98-0467-B)

An 8mm-stud 94mm case is the budget-conscious way into a big-bore Type 1 — all the displacement of a 94mm build without stepping up to 10mm studs. EMPI's HD bubble-top aluminum case (98-0467-B) is an all-new casting machined for 94mm cylinders, with the original 8mm case-stud threads retained.

Vehicle Fitment

• VW Karmann Ghia: 1966–1974

Confirmed for VW Type 1 94mm big-bore builds using 8mm case studs — 1914cc and 94mm stroker combinations. Not for builds requiring 10mm studs, stock 85.5mm or 90.5/92mm builds, or Type 4 engines.

Why Choose EMPI?
