The basics of aircooled VW hotrodding can be found here...,

This review is from: How to Hot Rod Volkswagen Engines (Paperback)
Bill Fisher's book is what most VW fans start out with. It may be outdated (written in 1971 I believe). The current printing has no updates and lists some catalogues as being 50 cents. The information is what most people will find interesting. Once you understand what Bill is talking about you can learn more by participating in online VW forums like the Cal-Look Forum on the net. There are lots of people out there willing to help with advice and information.

Basics of VW Hotrodding!,
By A Customer
This review is from: How to Hot Rod Volkswagen Engines (Paperback)
Start with this book if you want to know how to increase the efficiency of your VW engine. You must be patient as this book is a bit outdated. However, many of the ideas here can still be used today. A good buy for any VW enthusiast.

Many good tips to hot rod VW Beetle (Bus). Book include history and birth of Volkswagen. If you want to know how to exhaust tuning, port sylinder heads (very good section), make better carburetion, what you have to do that it stay together, read this book once at least.
