The following parts are new: Crankshaft and bearings, 2 rods, cylinders and
pistons (1683cc I think), exhaust valves, gaskets.  This is the higher power
one with dual port heads, higher compression, dual carbs and the fan housing
flat instead of sticking up.  I built this when I lived in Idaho/Utah in
1983-1985 and when I moved to Wisconsin, I gave away the car minus the
engine, thinking to replace it here.  Little did I know that such things are
scarce here in the rust belt, so the engine, complete with clutch, has been
in storage.  Sell for the price of the parts at $300.  It should work just
fine in an air cooled bus, but won't easily replace a water boxer. located
in Mukwonago, WI (near Milwaukee). Home e-mail chrfamily@juno.com, work
