Air Cooled Engine Replacement
Posted: 14 Apr 2009, 22:59
Hey folks
I have a 1981 2.0ltr T3.
I got stung badly by the git I bought it from and am now trying to get it up and running - he had stripped various 'hidden' bits. Like the light boards behind the lens; the startermotor; the carbs - OK that one isn't hidden but you get my drift.
Anyway, it looks like the engine may be pretty knackered too, so my question is....
What other VW engine can I fit with relative ease?
Can any Beetle engines slot it? I ask because they are cheap on ebay or even from remanufacturers.
I am looking for the cheapest way I can get this box of bolts running!
Any advice would be great.
Cheers
Andy
