WTB: 1.5 or 1.6 NA near Albany, NY
« on: December 08, 2008, 02:12:24 pm »
Hi! I've gotta a little project coming together and am in need of a decent running NA motor.  It needs to be complete, as I'll be converting a gas VW.  Tranny is optional, I can dig up an FF somewhere I'm sure.

Most important -  it MUST run.  It can be filthy, leaking coolant, oil, etc.  I'll do seals and scrubbing as needed, but I don't want to do a full on rebuild right now.  Just want something I can plop into a chassis I have and cruise back and forth to work.

Thanks!
