When I went to pick them up the guy had alot of VW stuff I asked him if he had any engine parts? he showed me motor parts he had bought 2 years ago to build a motor and never Did!! after loading up the Wheels in my truck we were talking and I told him if he ever wanted to sell it let me know I told him I might have a friend that might want it he said ok so I got in my Truck to leave and he opened my Passenger door and said why don't I give my Friend a Call I then Asked well What do you Want For It he Said he would like to get $700.00 or $800.00 but he wanted to be Fair On the Price so When I got Home I gave him A Call and Told Him I would like to Check it Out so Sunday I went back over there looked everything over and Bought It for $700.00 Ok here is Where It Gets Good!!  This is What I Got.

Are you STILL talking about that, ShooB?! :o
That was an epic score.

I had a thought Monday to ask the guy that has my original Centerlines off my blue car ... sent him an e-mail and he's gonna give them back!
I remember my brother ordering these back in the late 70s when they first started making them for VWs! I can still see him talking on the phone trying to get the ofsett right ... I'll find a pic from the old days cuz I'm going back to the original look!
WOOHOO! :D

Cool Tom cant wait to see the Pictures

Another weekend, another score? Can't keep this up for long ...  8)

It's a pretty clean old unit, after a quick spit shine, that is. Probably made in the early to mid 70s.
I love the old stuff.

That's fu*kin' great ! I want one too. 8)

Yep, lubed her up and got her spinnin'!
Just had to cut a few pushrods to get the feeling ... EXCELLENT. I'm in love ...

Came with a box of tooling too!

Made another pretty cool addition to my 'toolroom' collection ...

Where did you find that?  Have you guys ever looked on Government liqudation . com    Great place for equipment, I bought my P-9 pullmax. They have sheetmetal stuff on there sometimes. And if the auction or military base is near you , even better no trucking.

Checked that place out ... pretty cool if you have access to an 18 wheeler to haul your stash home!

Got the flowbench from an old V8 racer down in San Antone. Works great!

Nice tools ! 8)
