I'm looking to repower a Mark3 classic. Any suggestions, or comments, and thoughts would be appreciated.

Been flying it for over 15 years. I assume you are referring to Valley/Colver redrive with the serpentine belts. Note! redrive will not work with most of the GP engines. The GP engines that were built with the extra main bearing and extended crank for use as a direct drive will not work. You are aware that you will need to have a VW engine mount welded to the frame?
