WTB 1916 or similar

Still looking...
A poky little Type 1 engine is wanted for the 356 replica
Would love a 1916 or bigger. Must be turn key.
Willing to spend around the 2 to 3K mark for the right engine.

bump...

i think you would be very lucky to get a turnkey 1916 or bigger for 2 to 3 k (at least one that isn't only a few k's off an expensive rebuild).
still you might be lucky.
not trying to be rude btw.

I suppose I can hope! That 2275 roller crank engine that sold last week was a bargain at 3500. I suppose I am looking for somthing similar. Worse comes to worst I can get a nice 1914 from the SAMBA landed for about 3500, but I'll keep loocking local.

try rod penrose

I can see this with a 2110.!

well said mr paton!

i agree, can see this with a 2110!

from Serrano's. I can get this landed for just over 4k. About 90Hp at the engine.
Just do not want to wait.

3K turn key ? yeah right ,carbs alone cost 1/2 of that here

Thanks Craig. At the time I could not afford what you were asking.
I take it you have sold it. Anyway thanks for the salt in the wound.
I am try trying to be cheap, just trying to balanace all the bills and have some fun on the side...

So if anyone knows of a nice little engine for around the 3500 mark let me know.
Else, in a months time I am ordering from the US.

i've contemplated getting a crate of engines out from the states (serranos) as there is quite a bit of cost in plastic palettes etc to do it one off. had a good chat with him a few months ago. let me know if your interested in the price breakdown.

frieght and taxes will cost shitloads

that motor was 4k it was a bargain:P but it wasnt turn key no clutch no exhaust no oil filler no ext oil lines etc so add $600 at least

can you give some more specs crzbug like what carbies what cam specs what rings bearings you used etc who did the machining what heads are on it this sounds like a good deal if it has been done properly

it is a as41 case on its first line bore standard crank and rods scat c35 cam new 92mm pistons and barrels new standard heads full flow oil pump cb solid rocker shafts motor is bear at the moment was built for one of my cars but decided to stik with one bug in sted of two machining was done through a good mate called dubcustoms in dandenong it was built right .it also has a lighten flywheel i also have a pair of webber dcfn's which would be nice on this motor thay are old and could use a kit through them but they do come with a berg linkage kit which is nice 400.00 extra tho would make a good daily driver that is what it was built for.
