Has anyone heard of a half-vw conversion, using only either right-side or seft-side cylinders?

Funny you should ask. Well, not funny but interesting.
I looked at this briefly. You would have to use a full crankshaft and camshaft.
Way to much weight for just two cyls. and amount of power.
Stopped the thought process at this point.
My 2 cents.

I gather then that the full case 1/2 vw uses a cut crank? (& cam?)

Take a look at the Files & Photos section of this yahoo group: https://groups.yahoo.com/neo/groups/HalfVw_Engines/info

Attached is a Pic of the BetterHalfVw full case internals minus the cut cam...
