Hi,
Looking for a complete 1954 beetle 36 horse engine or even a good case so I can build up an engine. Engine number would be between
1-0718 594 to 1-0970 181
Thanks

I still have that Nov 54 engine which is a perfect match for a Dec 54 car, could even be the original motor....you must have lost my number.

I spoke to Rick he says he is only making one drop in Sydney and it will be at Micky's place in Windsor, Does that suit you?

Toby, looks like its been in wasser at some point. The cylinders were rusted in the bores and the crank and rods had plenty of surface rust on them. Major concern is there is some wasser corrosion on the case near the rear main seal. Andrew Dodd has looked it over and says it definitely needs a line bore and speacial bearings as there is plenty of endplay.
I'll give you a call about it.
Cheers
Steve
