WANTED 1600 engine

Hi everyone,

I'm looking for a 1600 engine for my bus. Ideally turn key (or close to), but anything considered really.

Let me know if anyone has one for sale!

Thanks,

Scott

Nice lockup

 

Mk 3 tina if I'm not mistaken.

Great colour too.

Reminds me of my dads old car.

Cool. Recommendation or are you planning to sell it?

 

Still looking if anyone has one knocking around?

 

With the plethora of Scooby conversions there must be dozens of type 1 engines collecting dust and rust in garages and barns. Give the converters a call, there can’t be many folks wanting a type 1 and they must be tripping over the things – unless they’re all just taken to the tip of course.

Incidentally, what’s wrong with yours?

 

Is it a bus case or a beetle case
Any endfloat or other problems with it?

 

Even if most are taken away that still leaves some with the converters.

 

Called a few converters - nothing for sale! And they said most of the time people are converting because their engines are knackered!

Still on the lookout for that 1600 engine. Found a few type 4 engines for sale... should I upgrade? If so, can I keep my existing gearbox?

 

If you’re going to change engine type change it to a Scooby. You’ll probably spend as much rebuilding a type 4 and changing bits so it will fit as a Scooby conversion, but at least you’re going in the right direction those that fit a type 1 instead of a type 4 are completely bonkers.

 

Think @davidoft mentioned he had `a couple` ??

 

If he can find them.

 

1776 with tweaks though? or might that as well be the year of manufacture for all you latebayers?

 

Sent you an update by pm

 

Still looking for this elusive engine!
