This is a 1.8l VW inline 4cyl gasoline engine, installed in
a Vanagon using the Vanagon diesel parts.  I'm including
all of these special pieces, already assembled, with this
engine.

This means you get the engine with all the following
special (and expensive, btw) diesel parts: engine mounts,
mounting brackets, hanging bars, rubber bushings, oil pan,
oil pickup, oil cooler, set of coolant hoses, coolant
bottle, flywheel, starter, intake manifold, airfilter box,
snorkle. And you get the gasoline-related items such as the
computer, already-modified wiring harness, fuel pump and
AFM (which is missing its cover, so I'd be tempted to
automatically replace it).

I'm selling this because this is now an extra - I sold the
van for parts and pulled the engine and transmission. I
never drove this van around, so can't tell you compression,
etc. Run it as it is, install a 2.0l engine instead - you
can do it using these parts. I don't know the history of
this engine, and can't speak for its condition.  And, since
just the conversion parts are worth this amount, this is an
as-is sale (which I rarely do). IT IS COMPLETELY ASSEMBLED
AND READY FOR PICKUP IN PORTLAND, OREGON.

I also have a complete, running diesel Vanagon transmission
which I'd sell with it for an extra $400, or $475
separately.

And I'm still sitting on a VERY nice, rust-free '82 Westy
with another I4 engine setup for sale for $4K.  Pics are on
thesamba - search for "CA Westy".
