Top-Quality Transaxle Rebuilds

We can also rebuild yours for your original restoration project. If you have a type 1, 2, or 3 swing axle or an IRS unit, we can rebuild it to factory specifications.

You can also buy a transaxle off the shelf from our parts department.

Amazing Air-Cooled Engine Builds

Have THE BUG STOP, INC. build your bone stock 25-HP or 36-HP engine to show-winning factory specs. We can also upgrade your vintage engine with a Judson supercharger or 40-HP Formula V engine modifications. If you want a 1600s or a "Fuel Miser" special, we can build it. But, if you are thinking of something a little more exciting, like a high-horsepower, fire breathing turbocharged beast, keep reading...

Interested in Beating Hondas, Leaving Mustangs Behind You, or Eating Corvettes?

It is, in fact, quite possible with the right engine combination. Our years of experience allow us to custom-design and build a super-street extreme performance engine for any driving need. We have our own SuperFlow™ SF-600 Flowbench in-house and engine dynamometer systems for testing. We regularly build 250-HP turbocharged street engines. If you want something like a custom 400-plus horsepower monster, just ask. It is all possible with the right engine and transaxle combination. Feel free to email us with your needs.
