Yea, if i can get it from him im going to. If i have to set it in my dorm room i will.

On top of the motor ive become aware of a pretty popular VW engine building book
"How To Rebuild Your Volkswagen Air-Cooled Engine" by Tom Wilson

If anyone has that I would be really intrested in buying/borrowing it off you

always nice to read up a bit before jumping headlong into somthing

I may have a copy of that book but will have to dig around in one of my "yet to be unpacked" boxes.

Haha, its not a big deal just yet. But I would really like to have one soon so I can look over it. Guy im supposed to buy this engine from is being kinda funny about it now so we'll see.

Engines mine, picking it up at 5 oclock this afternoon, guess it'll just have to sit in the floor of my dorm room till i can get it home haha!

Awsome deal! Now you need to see how many beer cans you can balance on it before they topple. Bonus points for ashtrays! Any pix?

Havent gone to pick it up yet the guys supposed to call me tonight. Ill keep ya posted.

Picked the motor up 300 buck for the full engine tins and all. Is missing the clutch and plate but thats a small matter. I belive that the engine will crank its been taped up has a centermount solex and still have oil in the sump. Im going to haul it home tommorow and perhaps crank the bad boy up.

Thanks again Kostya.

Hell YA! I hope the internals are good. You won't know until you fire it up. Awsome deal for $300.

Thats what I was thinking, even if i have to go through it 300 is good to start with. But we'll see.
