i have available to me a 1958 356 A motor,
P*70439
Zenith 32 NDIX
Bosch BR18 dissy
it has almost all tinware, front and rears are missing. I am told it was a runner but i haven't heard it run. It doesn't look like it has run in a long time. It is a 58 motor with the odd little oil thermostat on the side. it has compression when turned by hand.

If you are buying from the UK i can ship for you for free (i am shipping a westy back in december and i can put it inside) you would just need to arrange collection from the Midlands once it gets over.

i have pictures i can send by email.

$3500 or best offer my US number is 213 422 9880 (remember the time difference)

i leave for the UK on Tuesday 8th December. I would need cleared funds before i go if you want me to ship it to the UK.

oh Rats.

if this had come up about 8 weeks ago i would have bitten your hand off for it. but, now Andy Prills nearly finished re-building the (356c) engine that came with our 1958 356a.

mind you to be totally correct it would need to be a "super" engine for my car and this is a standard.

still tempted to get it as a spare...............ummm!

Helen, you can never have too many spare engines!

very true.

but, after much debate about this we have decided not to fill the shed up again with "just in case" parts.
