engines are easy like pie to remove/install. basically anyone with a handbook and a spanner set can do it. if you dont have the time there are plenty
of people on the forum im sure youll get a response.
1000 should buy you a decent engine, 1850 will buy you a brand new one.
cheers,
Daniel

If you can't do the work yourself, or don;t have time, check out some of the forum sponsor's for help.
I know the guy's at volkspower helped me when I was in Melb a while ago. They may even have a motor for you!

Volks Affair in South Melb. are quite close to St Kilda. They could do the work for you and may have a spare motor.

I have seen one of these $1850.00 brand new engines,
DANGER, It was with out a doubt the worst sounding "reconditiond" VW engine I have ever heard, and has 2/3 the power of the old worn out one, You
