Complete Type 4 'zero Mile' rebuilt performance motor. Built with NOS vintage parts including Claudes buggies parts etc... New factory heads. New OE, GE 2L case. New P&L's. Pauter Machine Hydraulic performance grind. New factory heater boxes. All tin present as well as cooling flaps. All German parts. Complete with new plug wires, spark plugs, German 009 with new points and condenser, VDO oil pressure sender and Oil pressure gauge mounted on block. Comes with new CB Weber/ DRLA manifolds. A real gem of a motor
it was built for a sand rail project that was never finished, which is why it's finally up for sale now. I don't even know if I could use this in my vanagon - does the tinware for the vanagon engine bay even mount to a non-vanagon type4 case? or is it as simple as just swapping out the fan housing with the vanagon one?
I know ive heard of "Pauter Machine" before as a higher end builder of type 4 parts, so if the heads are truly NOS VW german made, (I doubt the case would be a NOS item with a GE code, but who knows for sure) - could be a LOT more than $2k worth of parts sitting there. It could also just explode right away from being put together poorly!
