Does anyone sell a type 1 short block? The only thing I a seem to find are long blocks

I would think that pretty much anyplace that sells a long block would also sell a short block - Just aske the supplier of your choice.

Buying a short block is a recipe for problems. After you complete the engine, if there's a problem the seller could blame you.

I know the VW place up north of me said they used to sell short blocks but stopped doing that after customers messed things up and blamed them, I guess it's a two way street.

It's also just not a good idea from the "blue printing" perspective.

There are many places and people to purchase a short block from. What size are you interested in? PM me if you would like me to build it for you.
