Imagine you have a type III, and you need a NEW ENGINE...

[Douglas_Brashear@mail.amsinc.com]

...where would you buy it?

I don't have time to assemble my own engine for my '69 squareback, so I
need to know what people's experiences are with the various mail order
places.  I know some people hate GEX, and others love 'em.  I've heard of a
supplier named AGP (or something like that) that sells engines to shops and
VW parts places, and that they're supposed to be pretty good.  Any other
ideas?

Basically I need a type III longblock with FI heads (to match the 69 FI
system I'll transfer from my current engine).  I'd like it to be a new
case, or a used case on its first rebuild...I want to use a C/W crank, new
heads, new oil pump, new pistons and cylinders and bearings (obviously),
and I guess a stock cam.  I'm not looking for a screamer, just a strong
stock unit.  Any ideas?

Many thanks in advance!
