So, I need to clean out my garage. It is completely packed right now. One thing I'm thinking of selling is this engine.
It's a 1.6TD that was in a Quantum. Everything under the hood of this car was either painted, powder coated, or polished. I've never seen anyone invest so much time or money into a Quantum. The story goes that the engine ran good but the trans was bad (automatic). This was somebodies baby, but they donated it to a charity (probably got frustrated with it or lost interest). So, I ended up with the engine as a result.

The engine is so clean inside and the oil was still perfectly clean so I'm fairly certain the engine was only run long enough to take it for a spin and realize that the trans was bad.

It even has a crank scraper in it.

I've only taken off the oil pan, but from everything I've seen this engine was fully rebuilt and must have something like 5 miles on it. Someone said the pump was rebuilt too but I can't verify that. Judging from everything else that I saw though I wouldn't be surprised. The engine code comes back to being from a Vanagon but it DOES have oil squirters. Notice the squirter in the lower left hand side of this picture.

The head is ported as well. It has a cam baffle, and the intake manifold is polished. I have the turbo that went with it along with the oil lines but I don't have the exhaust manifold. If anyone needed the downpipe I may be able to get it. The paint is a little scratched up from removal and transport.
The longer I hang onto this engine the harder I try to find a use for it and the truth is I have too many cars and too many projects so I probably ought to let this one go so someone else can enjoy it. It would be ideal for a swap into a dasher/fox, or a Samurai or something. You'll need the transverse manifolds, oil pan, and oil lines if you want to put it in a Rabbit/Golf/Jetta, etc.
I kind of hate to get rid of this engine, but as stated above I also don't really have a use for it right now so I figured I'd throw it out there in case the right offer comes along. Obviously a local sale would be easiest but I could drop it off at a shipping depot or something if it would be required.
I also have a 1.6 shortblock I might take some pictures of. It has 240k on it, but supposedly ran. I beleive it. The bores look to be a bit worn, but it would probably run fine just out of spite. A great engine to rebuild or just use it if you have no great aspirations for it. What's that worth - $150 or something? I also have some Scirocco 1 fenders, doors, hatch, etc that I should part with. There will likely be other stuff so I'll try and update this thread.
-
those con rods look polished too.
-
Yes they do. I forgot to mention that.
-
nice pictures

Darn! I wish this was posted a month ago. My rebuilt 1.6 just got dropped at my house yesterday. Oh well.
-
how much for the engine???????????
I'm dieing to know you said the price for the SB but not the engine
-
I had an offer for $1200 on the TD. I'm considering that one. I figure that's a damn good deal considering what vwdieselparts.com sells them for.
janb - when's a good time to get that short block? I can take some pictures of it if you like.
-
is SB Hyd or Mech?
I was just inquiring of price, as I didn't see "make offer" (very slow modem, still loading pictures... 20min later... (I only get 2 hrs /day for ISP, and live way in the boonies, still need to trade stock, little time for VW's)
-
The shortblock is solid lifter from an '84 Rabbit.
-
The TD is to be picked up on saturday....so it is sold as long as he shows up.
-
Here is a picture of the shortblcok. It's a bit dirty and has a block heater for some reason.

What colour and condition are the rocco body parts you're selling? Do you have any rocco interior stuff?
-
well, that car (the silver 1980) is actually in pretty good shape with the exception of the bashed in quarter panel. The front fenders are straight and I don't think there is any rust. I have the passenger door off the 80, and another pair of doors off of a 77 (gold). I also have a 77 shell (blue)which has a lot of cancer but may be good for odds and ends. I don't really have much of anything for interior though, sorry. It does have a roll bar though. :D
-
The 1.6TD is now gone. I still have the 1.6 shortblock if anyone is interested. Make me an offer.
-
Shortblock is still here....someone make me an offer on it.
I also have a gas 8v solid lifter 288 cam I don't forsee using. It looks like it was used for an extremely short period. There is still paint between the lobes. We think it might be a web cam. .436" lift. TT charges $225 for a similar cam - how about $110 shipped in the US.
I have a set of new 1.9 AAZ pistons in standard bore. There are some scuffs from sitting and shipping and whatnot. Includes rings and pins - OE VW German made Mahle. The best price I've heard is just over $500 US. $250 shipped sounds like a good deal.
send me a message if you're interested - I accept paypal.

you may have said and i missed it but is the short block a td motor or na? also what kinda of price for shipping to 32601, florida? oh wait will an '84 motor fit into a '91 or does it have to be the '85 and up type?
-
It's solid lifter and NA....it will fit if you're using a solid lifter head. Shipping it there would run in the neighborhood of $300.
