Firing on All Four

It lives!!! Upon the successful installation of an engine in the rear of the beetle (with the addition of new fuel lines, etc), we were able to get the engine running. Not trusting the gas tank, we opted to feed gas into the carb via a non-alcoholic grape juice bottle. Despite having to replace a failed fuel pump mid-trial, we successfully got the motor to run on its own power. The next step is to clean the engine shrouds so we can safely run it hot.
