Okrasa

Okrasa was a supplier of speed equipment for the Volkswagen engine very soon after it inception. Through the years there were lots of various "kits" offered, all of which were intended to be installed using the customer supplied engine. In the early years, VW used a short crankcase in its 25hp and later 35hp engines. Then in 1960, the "40hp" engine was introduced. With it came a new, longer crankcase, thus making obsolete the older designed parts. Okrasa followed suit with "40hp" versions of their parts, but by that time, other vendors such as Gene Berg were beginning to take market share from Okrasa, and they ceased development of new products for this engine. (Interestingly, they later re-surfaced in the late 70s with a dual overhead camshaft offering for the VW Rabbit, which was sold to VW and became the GTI.)
