Hi All,

In a few weeks I will removing the engine from my bay and upgrading to a bigger....much bigger engine (insert evil grin). So will be selling the engine as a turnkey setup.




This engine was serviced on Tuesday (28/6/16) by James Wotton of VeeDubs, had oil change, new oil filter, plugs. Had timing, valves adjusted and carbs balanced. It is running perfect.

The specs are;

1776 by Richard Morena
Twin webber ict 34ict's
Remote oil cooler with fan
Remote filter
Vintage Speed Exhaust
New Alternator October 2013

It has bags of grunt, hills are no problem! Its a great engine for a bay. Im looking for £2500 which is great price for a proven, pro built turnkey setup thats just been serviced. If you are quick you can see it still in the van.

Cheers
Al.
 
Hi Can you confirm when it was built, the mileage and more details on the spec.

heads, rockers, cam, clutch, what external cooler, compression values etc

Cheers :)
 
I bought the van with engine in it but from someone else on the Early bay so will try and get more specs.

I'm afraid I won't be at camper jam but I will be at vw heritage 30th party at brands hatch and hopefully bug jam too.

Cheers
