Test run and tuned before leaving our facility
All engines come with a 12 month warranty.
All Motors are Test Run at our facility before going out the door. With a complete, its the best way to go because we do all the initial work and all you have to do is the install. We run the motor for one to two hours and check anything and everything possible. We check the valves 2-3 times, we set the timing, adjust and sync the carbs, check the compression, check the oil pressure, and the initial break-in on the cam is done.

Yes, I am not an expert, but familiar. Pretty much VW guys. They do know their stuff, been around a long time.. But, with that being said, I have heard mixed reviews. Good and bad.

Is that a type 4 motor?

It appears they are mostly a VW engine builder so I would assume its a Type 3 but not sure from the ad.

Vs 2270-145 Type 4 Conversion Engine Kit
$7,495.00 from InEngineering Type 4 store for just a kit.

https://www.mofoco.com/item_images/banner.jpg. Picture of engine advertised Mofoco. Will call them Monday to verify if its a Type 3 or 4 engine etc.

Magnesium engine case definitely isn’t a T4 motor

I’m pretty sure its going to be a Type 3 but still a fair price if one was in the market for a Type 3 build. Thanks for the comments…….

Check the BBB on them. They used to be not recommended.

Not so on magnesium cases. SOME Euro cases stamped "VO" were made of magnesium

I did not look very long… but seen this. It is a type 4

Magnesium case, not for me.

From what I know mag cases are inferior to aluminum. Ask an owner of a 7R case from the early 1970's 911. The main bearing bores oval over time much more than comparable aluminum cases.

Good information to know, thanks

Back in the day they were cheap and i steered clear of any mofoco heads. They always seemed to have issues, but that was type 1 heads and 20 years ago so....do research of recent quality

1968 411 only.
unlikely any of those cases ever got to the USA.
411s didn't get stateside until about 71 or something.

they stopped making them mag for a sound reason i imagine.

Hmm - never knew of a VO case. Don’t imagine I’ll ever see one in my lifetime

Always something to learn on this site

Unless you want lightweight - that is the advantage of Mag.

Agreed
We ran a 1966 2.0/6 aluminum motor
Switched to a 73.5 mag 7R race 2.0/6
Loss about 20lbs

Bit of a hijack but whatever happened with Original Customs? I know it was a little while ago but from what I recall his $5k engine was a pretty good deal.

Haven’t seen McMark here in some time it seems...

I think sir Andy mentioned he has a real job and does the car stuff on the side. @sirandy .

McMark is closing up his shop ...

Oh no - what does that mean for your /6 that was there?

It's going to PMB
