Find a carbed Porsche 914/912 engine and do a transplant (100hp). Fix the cosmetics as time goes by. Laugh all the way to the bank. or.... Fit a Corvair post 64 engine (110 hp & more torque) and find the simple-to-install VW-Corvair fitment kit. Nice flat air-cooled six that will make that puppy zoom, cheap and is reliable as nails. Welcome to the Aircooled-side (eg the Dark side). :) steve vitale <steve@NEWSIE.NET> wrote: If anyone can run carfax on this I'd appreciate it. 2342096037 From what I know it's a 74 Camper. The seller tells me me he got a it then found a recently rebuild but now seized engine from a 76 with a single weber carb. Last time he tried it turned by hand without a problem but I just tried it and it wouldn't budge so i'll need to pull it apart... which i'm kind of looking forward to. He's a neighbor and i don't have any reason to doubt his word. There's little rust (for the NE) but it's got a big dent on the nose and it's going to need new canvas for the top. I know I'm a bit loopy trading my (now) nicely running 86 GL for the thing but I just kind of fell for it. thoughts? criticism? carfax? Steve --------------------------------- How low will we go?
