Anyway, it finally arrived a few weeks ago and typically I am overloaded with work again!
Made a start, makes such a pleasant change to be presented with a clean engine to begin with.
Its an early suffix B (thin bearing) DG running twin carbs and making circa 94 bhp on the rollers, very impressive but customer would like a bit more torque.
So its going 2.1 and will be tested on efi before it leaves me and then will be re-tuned by a third party.

The engine is in superb condition, piston skirts are unmarked, flywheel is like new.

Just a couple of studs to swap, oil pump is A1 (engine runs an external oil cooler) and the water jacket seals are original VW. You never see them like this.
