It says "WITH A BRAND NEW HIGH OUTPUT 2.0-LITER 4 CYLINDER INLINE
ENGINE
CONVERSION! Conversion Developed by VW South Africa Racing division and
engine management by Bosch South Africa."
I read that as saying they are selling a brand new factory engine.

Here's an interesting question, and I'm curious too
By show of "hands"(email) after reading the copy on their site, how
many people on the list understand it to be:
1) a brand new engine(which in the industry means factory built,
virgin/unseasoned castings)
2) genuine VW (meaning the longblock was designed/built by VW, and
assembled by VW)
