Reub... what dont you have hidden in your little vw world!

omr_007 · 2 Nov 2009, 4:24 pm

Thanks Reub, will keep it in mind if I have no luck locally.

I have a couple of unknown 36 horsers but they have been stored for about 35 years and wouldn't hold big hopes for good condition,in the next couple of weeks I should know if ther is a goer among them. if so I will post it .Cheers les

No probs dude. Was running in the oval a couple of years ago and has been kept undercover since. Thought about keeping it with the car - but in reality I don't imagine I could own a 36hp powered beetle 🙂

Thanks Les, will wait to hear from you.

Reub - Yeah its going to be amusing to say the least, but I just love early shit and the 1500 is a bit too modern ...

Hey Dibba, PM coletrickle (check drag racing section) - Col mentioned he has a complete good condition 36hp engine for sale.

Al
PS I have a 36hp non synchro first gearbox if you need one 😉

omr_007 · 2 Nov 2009, 10:09 pm

Awesome Al, thankyou 😀

Thanks for the offer on the box, but I still have the OG one for the car.

omr_007 · 10 Dec 2009, 4:02 pm

Hey Al, PM'd coletrickle (from the drag section), never heard anything back?
Any chance you are seeing/speaking to him again soon and can find out if he still has it/wants to sell it?

Cheers!

Dasdubber · 10 Dec 2009, 8:57 pm

Will PM you his number Dibba.

omr_007 · 11 Dec 2009, 12:00 am

Hi,

I have a complete 36hp motor that I removed from an oval some years ago running at the time, been in storage since, probaly needs seals and a tune as well as a patch on the heat riser of the inlet manifild.

$250 and its yours.

Located in Thornlands, I have its matching gearbox too! for $150.

Cheers,

David

Thanks David, will give you a call when the boss isn't listening 😵‍💫

I'm only in Capalaba so thats perfect!

As long as its not seized then I will take it!

Don't really need the box, got a few of them already, but will have a look when I come for the engine.

Thanks again guys ❗
