yeah - they run very SMOOTH 馃榿

Seriously - what you want it for??
Stocker??
A few things arent as good as OG - cast crank for example.
But they are all new

If you mean the "Mexican" motors, yes I have one in my '65 Notch. Have not had any trouble with it.
Originally ran it in my Manx, went from Mackay to Mt Isa and back with it. Only add on was a full flow filter/pump.
I later converted it to a type 3 setup for the notch and a remote mounted filter.

They don't come with a distributor drive shaft.

I had one in my manx. Had alot of trouble with it and ended up building a new motor after a year. For some reason it burnt out 2 valves. Was regularly serviced by Good Vw mechanic and no-one knows why this happened??? Although it did get us to valla and back with burnt out valves... It always got us home no matter how bad it was running!
