everything i`d need to build an engine, apart from heads and possibly case and conrods, (although if the price was right i`d need them too)

basically i`m looking to build a engine for my 59a, so dont neccessarily need it all at one, but if the price was good would be nice to get all the bits collected in 1 go

i`ve realised i cant compete with the prices folks want for complete engines, but i`d ideally prefer a porsche engine rather than a vw one,

i`m very tempted to go into spiralling debt just before chrimbo to buy this ...... seen the pics and it looks really good


.........but i will need to sell a kidney to get it and the wife WILL divorce me

thats why i`m looking for the parts to see if i could build a block for less, got a potential case, rods and heads in the states for a good price possibly, so was trying to work out how much more i`d need to spend to get close to a complete engine

I sold an excellent kit one recently to a chap on VZi... i'll look out for his address as I think he still has it. It was a 60hp but with 1720 B+Ps, stinger etc... there were lots of rare parts with it and a stack of new bits too :wink:

Just had another look - he sold it on to a chap that bought a 356C off me to restore! He's called Tony (Red Dwarf on VZi) - nice bloke - might be worth contacting as he was tracking down stacks of stuff for the C...

I think it was about £1150 when all in - not too bad for a matching pieces full engine ready to re-assemble, but there were also some nice bits like lumpy cam and twin plug heads etc I came away with two trekkers and a mountain of pervy parts... everybody happy! :wink:
