Engine for sale on ebay at the moment, not mine Front tin and rear tin turnkey (if it runs) with heat exchangers, stainless exhaust, carb, distributor the lot £500 start. If you need both bits of tin and an engine for maybe an imported van worth a bid I reckon !! http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/vw-aircoo...arts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item43bc34fae3
I think it is worth that if it doesn't work Front tin £100-£150-00 Rear tin £70 Heat exchangers x2 (look solid) £50-00 Stainless exhaust £150-00 Engine support bar with mounts £30 Carb £40-00 The rest for a tenner
I think you should assume that it doesn't work, if it did surely he would have ran it up and confirmed that before removing?
