Subject:      FS - 2 WBXers

1 WBX, 87K miles.  Very well traveled. Alaska to Mexico.  A rebuild I
bought from a dealer in 99.  It burns 1 qt every 1200-1500 miles, and has
since new.  I did the head gaskets at 60K, there was no corrosion, studs
were not torqued correctly.  New gaskets and thats it.  I have never called
a tow truck for a Van powered by this engine. Includes 2.5 year old headers
and anything else you want except the ECU, which I will sell for 50 bucks.
The engine is on the east coast and I am asking 600.
    The other engine is in a syncro on the West Coast.  I will sell the
engine in 6-8 months.  It was rebuilt about 10K ago by the owner of a VW
shop for himself.  He said he bumped up the compression slightly.  It is by
far the smoothest and best WBX I have driven.  I hit 85 on the highway still
accelerating in a non Westy Syncro.  Gets 19 mpg in that vehicle at 70 mph.
 GREAT MOTOR.  Just not as good  as the SVX I will put in that vehicle in
the late spring.  Make me an offer and keep in touch on this one.
    I will deliver the first motor within 200 miles of Toms River,NJ, or
ship it at your cost.
    I am only selling the motors as I have seen the light, and it is Subaru
colored.

Pmail me if interested.
