Looking for a rebuildable 1600 single or dual,

I am looking for a rebuildable 1600. Let me know what you have lying around. I am hoping to rebuild one myself for the first time this winter.

Thanks,

What are you looking to spend?

Are you looking for parts that are ready to be assembled or are you just wanting parts that have 'potential'?

I could probably hook you up...

Welcome Drew!

Thanks for the welcome,
I am looking for parts the have "potential"

hey did you ever get a 1600? if not i have a 1600 only thing wrong is the crankshaft... the guy i bought the bug from didnt tighten the flywheel down with the right amount of torque so the dowels totally messed up the crankshaft.. other than that it was running pretty darn good..

If he doesn't want it, I might be interested. What do you need for it?

all you need would be a new crankshaft and a new flywheel and dowels in between other than that it was running great

oh and of course a car hahaha

Welcome Drew. Can't help you on the motor request, but are you the same Drew that just bought a nice walk through bus???

are you talking to me?

SOrry, I should have "quoted", I was talking to Drew, ukeskis, he signed his post "Drew".

ok

I guess I shoud've phrased that differently. How much do you want for the motor?

oh lol my bad um how much do they usually run for used? and needing a bit of work

$20 or so......

$20 dollars? dude the carb alone would run over 20 hahahahaha

Ok, ok. Do some poking around and determine what you'd like to get for it. Let me know.

haha alright will do

ok so a brand new engine runs roughly about 1400 that is with out any extras now i have a carb and manifold that will go with it but no tin and this is used so i would say 800 would be a good price the only thing a person would need is tin crankshaft flywheel and new gaskets

so id have to say 800? sound like a decent deal?

the vin number on it is AE 616 122

Honestly that's a little steep for me. I'm not saying it's not worth it, it's just that I'm looking for more of a $200-$400 rebuilder.

scratch that 500 i forgot i used the oil cooler and alternator on the new engine but i do have a bunch of 6v stuff if you are going to be running it as a 6v

i could do 500 if that sounds good to you i owe my parents money for the 57 im working on right now and im 20 trying to go to school :/ so its little rough doing my life hobby and trying to further my education

Does it have dual port heads?

no single :/

Bummer... Someone should want that who is into 'vintage' speed.

Me, not so much...

haha alright thats fine
