I replaced my '87 Vanagon's 2.1L WBX engine with a rebuilt from
Boston Engine (shameless plug: it's running great!), so I have the
old engine that someone might want to rebuild.

It was pulled in running condition (no thrown rod or other engine
damage) at 208K miles.  I am the van's third owner, so I don't know
if it was rebuilt before.  Heads were replaced by the PO, but the
gaskets were leaking in the spring when the engine was pulled.  Oil
pressure was at least 10 psi per 1000 RPM with 20W50 (I had a gauge
on it).

Compression on #3 was about 20-30 psi lower than the other cylinders.
 Fuel, electronics, and intake systems were reinstalled in my van, so
they're not included.  The exhaust had crumbled, so there was no
point in saving anything.

So with all that, I figure it's a good starting point for a rebuild,
but I no longer have time to do it.  If you're REALLY hard up for
cash, I suppose you could get some more miles out of it installed as
is.  At the very least, you could give it to a rebuilder and get core
charge out of it.

$600 as is and where is (Hurricane, WV...between Charleston and
Huntington).  I'd prefer not to ship it, but I can bring it to some
VW events.  We're going to High Country Bus Festival in NC in July.
