Sounds expensive at first glance but when you break down what has gone into this and what it would cost you to build a comparible unit it seems really good value!

Shame you never got the Mig singing with this motor Paul.

If something is worth doing, it's worth doing half of.

Thanks John.

I may end up breaking this up if there are no takers for the complete unit, but only if I have takers for most the bits.

Also, for those asking by PM, the cam will come with the short engine if I break it up.

I added up my engine build the other day. It wasn't far off this price with a used iron head and second hand gearbox. Well priced IMO.

Good luck Paul,

I have started posting on Instagram also my name on there is turbomk1golf

Nothing is impossible it just costs more and takes longer.

if you do and the price/time is right i will have first dibs on the pistons and crank, clutch/fw off you, dont need rods though :p

give me a pm next month of so if you decide to split.

Ha is that the cam i missed out on on ebay paul !!.

Good luck with the sale. Honestly i do think it will sell far easyer in bits rather than complete.

I'll be honest I flicked through
The ad and didn't cotton on it had an aluminium head!
Split it up and it'll be gone in a few days

I'm interested in the shortblock & clutch setup if you do
