I got a 1776cc turnkey from Chico - dyno sheet lists 135HP at 5500 and 137 LB FT TQ from 3500-4500. Got it in my 63 sedan last night and this thing is SICK!!! Very powerful and runs great! I couldn't ask for anything more!!! Chico is the man! He’s definitely a great guy to deal with. I would definitely recommend him to everyone in the market for a turnkey - you will not be disappointed!

I purchased a turnkey 1776 engine for my 74 std beetle daily driver from Chico. Chico built and dynoed the engine (87hp @ 122 ft/bs torque). It arrived in good order with no damage. The engine sat on the pallet for several weeks while I finished some other things on the car. We finally got everything back together and after a few preliminary checks, the engine fired as if had ran the day before.
The engine now has about 1200 miles on it. It continues to get stronger, with a very wide power band. Without a doubt, one of the smoothest VW engines I have ever driven. The engine starts easily, is very drivable, has not overheated, and been virtually trouble-free.
All in all, Anibal Chico has been one of the best folks I have ever dealt with. Even though he builds high-dollar big horsepower engines, he took the time to help me decide exactly what I wanted and needed for my daily driver. He built my engine with quality parts and labor, and continues to support his customers well after the delivery. He has my respect, admiration, and recommendation.
