Hah here's my '78 motor that I haven't really used in years. But I tell you; after not starting it for 1 1/2 years, I hooked up a battery one frosty morning a few weeks ago and after just a few REALLY slow cranks, that baby started right up. No new gas, starting fluid, tune-up, or anything. That engine always was a great starter in the winter. Maybe someday it'll be a Camper Special... or... anyone need an engine?

'80 Vanagon engine I converted for use in the '79 Westy:
My first stab at a Type IV and fuel injection. I like it, especially that low end torque. |

Here is mine in my Blue bus. It now has the seal but it will be pulled out and put into my Westy probably. Unless I decide to get something else to put it in before then.
