Like the Signature Color, the Signature Color is a dual-carburetor engine whose 1776 model offers the best balance of economy and performance in our line-up, while the 1835 model will up the game even more. The Signature Color comes standard with your choice of red or blue powder-coated tin with a matching-color serpentine belt system. Custom colors are available at extra cost.

Due to shipping restrictions, all engines are shipped WITHOUT motor oil. Three or more (depending on the engine model) quarts of high-quality SAE 30 motor oil with zinc additive must be added to the engine before initial start-up.
TECH NOTES
On vehicles previously fitted with a generator, some modification to the wiring may be necessary due to the voltage regulator being located inside the alternator instead of elsewhere - like under the rear seat in a Beetle.
After the engine is installed, your mechanic must make final carburetor jetting and adjustments for proper operation in your local climate and elevation.
