Re: Replacing Engines....



The G60 can be a bit hard to find (with a good super-charger) and the VR6
can be quite expensive. Your best bet on the VR6 is to get a crashed Passat.
I bought a rear-ended (totaled!!!!) Passat for $2200, about $1500 less than
the savage yard wanted for the VR6 engine alone! Also by purchasing the
whole car wrecked, you can see how many miles the engine "really" has.

Have you seen some of the twin-engine conversions (VR6's / 16v's / 8v's)
that are showing up in the British VW magazines ("The Golf" & "VW
Performance")? Super - slick conversions!!!!
