Wanted: turnkey type1 or 4 engine
PorscheKombi - October 3rd, 2024 at 08:33 PM

Hey all
I'm chasing a turnkey type 1 or 4 engine to get my kombi on the road. It's a 72 crossover so preferrably with the associated tinware.

Happy to consider mild performance but not really needed. Preferrably with proven compression values

Based in victoria.

Maybe you've already checked these out but here goes :
Volksworld - Moorabbin VIC
VW Performance Centre - Croydon VIC
Wayne Penrose VW - North Nowra NSW
Vintage Vee-Dub Supplies - Campsie NSW
Air Cooled Garage - Ringtail Creek QLD

Private sellers - best try the normal haunts of Gumtree, ebay, fb marketplace (or whatever it's called)

There's a possibilty a member on here up Noosa QLD way may have something but need to try and find him.

Ok so it is Geoff Scott aka Kombi Whisperer - Yerra QLD

You can google any of those mentioned in the 2 posts and it should find their contact details.

Some tinware parts are available from the above and also Mick Motors - Northgate QLD

Thanks fossil. Appreciate the leads on companies, I was aware of most. I was reaching out to any of the private sellers, but will certainly call the companies you mentioned.

Cheers
