All right, I am ready to admit it now... a couple of weeks ago a blew the Manx's engine and need to replace it. Anyone have a line on a 1600, 1641 or 1776 VW Beetle engine? With everything else going on, would like to have this be quick and easy and I want something mild that doesn't need to be rebuilt. Trying to keep it low priced as well.
ok.. but we want to know how you blew it up first
Sucked sand up in the engine, or at least that's what he admitted to in this last episode of the magazine
They make air filters for those, ya know. (ducks and runs for cover)
No Subaru flat four love?

Screw it. Subaru flat four Manx. Do it for the readers.
I might know where a 914 2.0 would be...
You guys sure that "Trailor Tim" wasn't trying to do that "sand porting" trick, y0?
I hear that's popular with the VW crowd...

Maybe they can help.

I've got a complete, oil pan to air filter including tins, AC VW engine. Not sure of the displacement. I have never had it running or even done a compression check. Free if you want to come to Charleston SC to get it.
Go to -TheSamba- classifieds and search for "engine" in your area.
hahahahahahahah sand porting!
In reply to scardeal:
Flat four? You left out a couple of cylinders...

Tim,
If you can figure out how to get it from Massachusetts to Florida, you can have my good running 1972 1600cc dual port for a 10-year subscription...

If Tim doesnt want it I'll buy you a subscription, I could use that motor!
Gee Tim, don't you have access to a Corvair engine?
You'll need to log in to post.
