Good Luck, Kep -----Original Message----- From: Vanagon Mailing List [mailto:vanagon@GERRY.VANAGON.COM] On Behalf Of Ben S Sent: Monday, March 30, 2009 1:59 PM To: vanagon@GERRY.VANAGON.COM Subject: WANTED: running 2.1L wbx engine hi all, i am looking for a replacement engine for my '86 westy that just blew a piston ring. i'm not interested in doing a rebuild or an engine swap in this chassis due to rust issues, but i would like to keep her on the road for a little while longer without dipping too far into my "sychro fund". thus i am hoping to find a used donor engine from a wrecked van or someone doing a swap. i am in san francisco and would prefer to deal with someone else in the bay area. i could probably find a truck to come pick the engine up. a big plus if i could see it in the vehicle before it's removed in order to test compression or even drive it if the situation permits. thanks in advance for any info or leads. Ben. |
