ARPM 2432cc motor

[Mike Martin]

Just finished my new motor. Its a ARPM 2432cc motor with all the goodies in it. I am waiting for my new carbs. I built one of my friends a new 74x94 motor and I let him use my IDAS on his motor so he can run at peidmont. SEVWA race coming up. He should be able to run in the super pro class. His motor sounds real good. Never got to fire my new motor but wanted to help out a friend. The VW community pulled together and helped my son Austin Martin out by doing a auction for medical bills. I feel like it was the right thing to do, letting him use my carbs. I will get to run my new motor soon. It just might be in a car at drag night and surprise every one. I also plan to let Wanye use my other new 2276cc motor at drag night and try to set the record in the street class. Like I said the VW community helps each other out right. I am just glad to be apart of it. Thanks to Kevin Shull and MEGA machine and some other great people that helped me finish this motor, like Mike Gagnier for selling me all the high pro parts I needed to finish the motor. You can reach Kevin @ 803 429 3311 also MEGA machine @ 336 492 2728, ask for David, and Mike can be reached @ 704 528 4479.  Now a pic of my new motor. Thanks you guys.

Hi, just a quick question. I think I have a 2400+cc VW motor and I believe it has the ARPM cases. Question: is that block marked in any way as to be identified?? It has 94.mm bore and 84.5 stroke and my math (not the best) calculates this to be around 2332cc but the previous owner swears it's almost a 2500cc motor. Where are the other cubes coming from?? Thanks for any help.

Send me a pic of the motor and I can tell you if it is a arpm block. 84.5 x 94 is a 2346cc and is 143ci motor.

Very nice Mike!

 Marty did you mean the math or the motor. Waiting on a oil pump. Cant wait untill I fire this baby up. It will be in a car at drag night, going to turns so heads. Oh ye.

This is one way you tell it is a ARPM case

Marty did you mean the math or the motor.

The motor. I am a big fan of the ARPM stuff.
Not all of them had ARPM engraved on the sump sides - FYI

[fiatdude]

Just the very early ones had the engraving -- was being a smart ass

Thanks for your help guys. No engraving on the sump side but from what I can see it looks the same but that could be wishful looking LOL. Don't have any good pics of just the motor at the moment but if I can figure out how to upload I have a couple of it in the Sandrail that might help.
