Here is a Syncro list post from nearly 2 years ago from VW dealer member
Rennie.

Just wanted to drop a note that 2.1 rebuilt engines from VW are now
obsolete.

VW has just made the last run of rebuilds, all of them being shipped to
the Los Angeles Parts Depot.  I ordered 2 last week, there are 27
remaining and then there will be no more.

This is your last chance if you want a factory VW 2.1 longblock.  The
list price is $2875, exchange (why exchange I don't know).  Listee price
is $2450.00 exchange.

Get them while they're here!
