|
|
So my single port 1600 is on it's way out. now i'm shopping for a used motor. i came across an AJ case for $200. What i believe to be a fuel injected 1776? Am i right? The owner knows nothing of the motor. it appears to have dual port heads for carburation. So my question would be, can I just use an electric fuel pump as there is no place for a mechanical fuel pump? Is $200 a good deal? it does have the fly wheel and intake mainfold. just minus carberator and distributor.. thanks for any info |

Pull the heads first, those FI engines run hot so there might be cracks. _________________ Build thread: http://www.thesamba.com/vw/forum/viewtopic.php?t=212747

$200 for a case or a longblock or a complete engine minus carb and dist? Very confusing post and miniman is correct, it really depends on the condition as to whether it's a good deal or not. |

Okay, let me rephrase myself..
It is an AJ longblock with flywheel and intake manifold (dual port, single carb).. The motor looks very clean, although that means nothing. Only thing i looked at was inside the valve covers. I will pull the heads off and inspect further. I'm sure i can get it for less then $200.00. So if it checks out, would that be a reasonable price for such a motor? |

check the end-play while you are inspecting. _________________ 1965 Beetle sedan

$200 wouldn't be bad for it. $150 would be a fairer price. $250 or so complete. _________________ Street legal fiberglass rocket ship
