Hi all,
I have this old engine and i'm not entirely sure what type it is.. im pretty sure its out of a vw beetle or kombi but i could be wrong.
i have search on the net for ages and have yet to find anything remotely close to this type of engine.

Picture 2
Picture 3
Sorry about the blurry pictures, they are from a camera phone.
if anyone can help me out it would be greatly appreciated.

cheers
