What engin to buy for 1975 Splitty
Posted: Thu Jan 02, 2020 10:15 pm
Hi
I have started on my project and the previous guy has installed an 1800 Golf engin in the Splitty with 2 radiators at the bottom. I would have initially kept that setup but vehicle was standing for very long time and engin does not start (ring gear stripped) and pipes etc are perished. So I am thinking, instead of spending on the 1800 should I not just buy a aircooled and re-install that. If I am not mistaken, the Fleetline splits came with a 1600.
Two questions:
1. What engin to buy for maximum value add to the bus
2. Where can I buy it
