What parts do you need? Have your internals been looked at yet? Here is one that I got using the search.

If it were me I would not just build the 1600 you have, I would build the aircoole.net 1800cc engine. It requires no machining, it uses the stock block, and it is about the same price.

Google can make any page in almost any language if that is what you want. _________________ 1971 Karmann Ghia

I kinda agree with Bloku. You really need to tear the engine apart and measure everything to check the specs. I would re-use anything OEM that is within tolerances and replace what's needed. You can still move up to the bigger size jugs if you want.
I'm personally keeping everything stock 1600 myself, but I just don't want a lot of power. My ghia is just going to be a weekend driver for us. _________________ -Jared

First thing you want to decide is direction -- stock rebuild, sleeper, mild performance, high powered grenade . . .
Looking at your location I'm guessing that you don't have access to a machine shop that knows vws? It is awfully hard to rebuild an engine yourself without one -- even on a stock rebuild you want to verify the measurements and adjust the deck, machine shims for correct rocker geometry and so on . . . which you can do through the mail but it doesn't sound like much fun. All of this in addition to work done to your case -- line boring, galley cleaning and so on.
*If* you don't have access to a shop I would think about getting a longblock built and shipped to you. Brother's machine shop in LA does pretty impressive work for very fair prices -- air cooled .net costs more but will answer all your tech questions. Same goes for gene berg. |
