Re: Going Price on a rebuilt 16v

["Kris Rayner" <veritech@fix.net>]

How about the going rate of a 2.0L 16V shortblock.  I already have 
the 1.8L 16V motor but need a 2.0L 16V shortblock (okay, would like 
one).  Or should I perhaps just freshen the 1.8 and hope that gearing 
really is the reason why the 16V's have no low end.  What's the 
cheapest anyone has seen a euro intake cam for one of these suckers?  
Also, seeing how a new scirocco 16V downpipe costs about $400 no 
matter who I buy it from, has anyone had any experience with the 
Bellvue Motorsports headers for the 16V?
