They are local to me, sorta, since they are in Sacramento, about 50 miles away. My experience is several years old, so I hope things haven't changed. I had a air-cooled Vanagon at the time (2L FI) and munged a head. They welded it for me with success on the cheap. They understand the head dropping problem rampant with Vanagons, and know how to prevent the problem with the heads they work on. They don't (didn't) do anything other than stock engines, so no fancy stuff, but they do them well. In the years I've been on T2 & t3 lists, I've only read of one person unhappy with them, but I can't recall why. If my T3 needs an engine, I'll go there (I don't have time to DIY). I toured the shop and was impressed. They grew up from a VW repair shop to an engine rebuild specialist. They sell to other shops primarily, so don't get recognition directly. Wait for other feedback too.

(was Re: [T3] Engine for sale...) So, just out of curiosity, is AVP held in higher or the same regard with the likes of GEX? Not intending to throw any rocks, I just wanted to ask the general question. BTW: "Futurama" tonight is all about Volkswagen Vans. Har. Happy November. av '67 partsmobile ----- Original Message ----- From: "theoddmanout" <theoddmanout@internettrash.com> Sent: Friday, November 01, 2002 4:30 PM Subject: [T3] Engine for sale... > Almost complete T3 engine for sale. I paid $1100 for a BRAND NEW, ZERO MILE longblock (with a NEW AS41 universal case, and BRAND NEW heads) from AVP worldwide. Then, I installed the generator, intake manifolds, carbs, oil cooler, fan, fan shroud, and all that stuff from my old engine. I had all the cooling tin sandblasted, gave it 2 coats of primer, and a high-gloss black hi-temp finish. I also cleaned and painted the intake manifolds and the carb linkage parts, and rebuilt the 32 PDSIT carbs. The only thing missing is the distrubitor. NEW fuel line, NEW fuel pump, and BRAND NEW air bellows. It has been cranked, but never actually started or run. Please email me directly at punkdork55@aol.com. Please make offer, thank you. > > ________________________________________________________ > InternetTrash the "be yourself" Internet Community! > http://internettrash.com/ > > ------------------------------------------------ To unsubscribe, E-mail to: <type3-off@vwtype3.org> For more help, see http://vwtype3.org/list/ ------------------------------------------------ To unsubscribe, E-mail to: <type3-off@vwtype3.org> For more help, see http://vwtype3.org/list/
