it says 12v in the other thread Col, let it go to scrap for the $8.70, cause that's what it's worth.......

maaaan your not looking hard enough.. scope ebay, i just picked up an early 6v engine that would run, a 40hp in bits and a 1600sp and a three rib box for a price i wont even mention

all within an hours drive of your digs, i was gunna pop in but i didn't have your number.. bugger.

I was gunna offer you the engine, but its a bit different so i wanna find out about it now..

Anyway if i find anything i'll let you know, 6v 1500's alright?

??? i'll take a punt and say that the rocker covers step down about 15mm at the intake manifold. it has raised humps on the cylinder tin where the cyl numbers are pressed, a PCI carb with a cast in brass pipe not a threaded input, a fuel pump with a vertical out put, maybe slighty different case ribbing around the oil pressure warning light area and if you're really lucky a VJ4 BR25 all mechanical advance distributor? the cylinders may have a smaller top diameter.

all the stuff above is bastard 40hp (60? kombi only) stuff. i'd love the bastard fuel pump if you don't want it. i picked up a rebuilt engine years ago with some bastard bits and it took years (pre net) to find out what they came from. eventually i'd love to collect enough bits to build a hotted up bastard look alike engine. if it will ever happen i don't know, but it is a fun pipe dream.

please post some pics or start a thread.
