1600 dp Engine case needed

« on: August 04, 2011, 02:05:32 PM »
I need a engine case as a core for a rebuild..anyone have anything like this?
I don't mind getting a long or short block that is all junk, just need the block.
Thanks!
Rick.

No problem. I believe he already gave the 080 its last rights. I hope the 020 works for you.  Is this going in a super beetle vert by chance?

You were right Nick, the 080 was just too far gone, but the 020 looks like it will probably be ok.  I owed a good core for a engine I bought that David built and the engine I turned in was baked to the point that even the case was of no use...it did run and didn't even knock but I guess heat can do some pretty funky stuff.  Thanks again!!

Good to hear. I wonder why someone left it after BP? I guess they didn't want to take it back home with them!!! Oh well, glad it worked out.

Just hold your breath. Its a pretty beat up 020 but it will go 040 I believe .

Well...looks like the 020 case is not gonna cut it. :P  Damage around the sump area due to water is kicking this one to the curb.  Anyother cases out there? 


Thanks.
Rick.
