Title: Places to look for engines for sale
Post by: Mikester on 21 July 2009, 20:53

Looking to find engines for sale other than:

This forum, ed38, vr6oc and ebay.

These forums they are few and far between. And on ebay there are just breakers wanting to charge a mint, for a bare block, and very rarely a private sale.

Anywhere else that i dont know off? Local vw scappers rarely gets anything good in engine wise.

After R32 engines, mk4.

Think it might just be luck of the draw on ebay. But there is like 1 a month on there.

Any ideas?

can you use the audi 3.2? would give you more chance of finding an engine.

as for finding an engine. you might struggle to one at a good price/one you want asap. could be a case of just waiting for the right one to pop up at the places you said.

yeah, im not going at it bull to a ragg and paying stupid cash, but i just wanted to possibly widen my search and chances. As i have been told that im looking in the wrong places.

And the audi engine fits just the same too i have heard. And runs more power apparently.
