I had a someone I really trust build this engine for me.  He also build VW engines for aircraft (those really don't need to break).  The engine has never been started. It is a beauty. We focused on making the main internals rock solid with the balanced crank. I intended this engine as a daily driver on the interstate - so it was built to produce 90-100 HP, give really good MPG and not leave me on the side of the road.

Hate to sell it before I can even run it, but I have just too much stuff going on and don't want it sitting around. Someone needs to enjoy this thing.

I have about $2500 in this engine (please go through the above and confirm it to yourself).
