Hello all! I am just finishing up the cleaning and inspection of my torn down engine, a stock 2.0L 76. I am planning on rebuilding it as a 2.0L with a Microsquirt taking care of fuel and spark. Inside of the engine the only "upgrade" I will be going for is a more modern cam.
While I am finding companies that provide complete rebuild kits, some of my parts like the crank are still good, and don't need to be replaced. I am looking for companies that will help me build a complete kit around the parts I don't need to replace. Any and all suggestions are welcome and appreciated. Jim |

Sorry for the long delay in replying. Family and life got crazy, but now that most of the troubles are over, I can get back to my fun stuff.
McMark The reason I know my crank is still good is because I have had it inspected and polished at a local machine shop. I wouldn't know onerwise. Not much machine shop in my veins. As with most if my rebuild, I am getting as much done locally as I can for my engine, but I just couldn't find a supplier. Just one week before I started my vacation I had a new business move on to my route ( I am a UPS driver ) called Deutschmark auto. They are a supplier if VW parts. When I asked if they could get me parts for a 2L type 4 the owner said sure, and that he had a 914 and about enough parts to make three cars right in the back of his warehouse. For a moment I thought he was being a smart ass so I checked, he really does! So I guess my supply issues are solved. Thanks for all of the input, not just on this post, but on all of the discussions on here that I get to read through to increase my knowledge . Jim |
