Thanks mate, I'll see if something pops up a bit closer to home in the next week or so as it would take me an hour + to get there!

Hey all, any 1500 or 1600 engines running (or near running) going cheap in western syd? Just getting it running for now, will get a decent engine when there is more budget! 🙂

Hi,
I've got a 1300 you'd be welcome to check out (Wollongong). Took it out of a 61 bug. Turns over by hand, don't know much more than that :-/

I dunno? Whats fair for a 1600TP? Does it smoke/leak/cough/fart? Sorry, not trying to be obtuse, just learning the VW world!

none of the above its a pretty good motor i am just upgrading to a larger engine.

Maybe someone else can make comment but i'd be looking at around $500 to cover purchase of tinware, alternator and a few other bits i could use off the existing motor
