tweety · 2011-07-04T06:06:50+00:00

Going Subaru in my panther trike. In near future there is a good chance I'll want to sell my VW engine. What's it worth? New in 2009 1916cc Done 31,000 kms, Flamethrower electronic ignition, twin weber 40 carbs, large sump, has been mated to a type 3 auto so never revved hard. Mature owner. Religious oil changes etc.

With all this cufuffle going on re subie / vw I just reckon that is one of the coolest trikes I've ever seen. 👍😵‍💫

I dream of a day when a chicken can cross a road without being asked for it's motive!

As for replacement EA series engines....there are a t least 6 here in Townsville that are runners with warranty from a wreckers so they arent that hard to get....and cheap as well.Good luck with your conversion.The Trike will also be a lot quieter when driving as well.....more comfortable for those long trips.A guy up here is running a 2.2 with twin turbos on his but he's a bit crazy....and that always helps😁

Thanks MickH

Getting enquiries now. Think I've got the price right.

Think it would, be a need to eventually buy a spare engine for the backyard anyway. 10 years time it might be a problem locating one.

Like the buggy

Engine is SOLD

Yes did have the price right say anywhere from $3000-4000. With a little tweeking, cam, exhaust etc new owner will get a nice performer with virtualy new inner motor.
