I have 66 ghia ,in which i'd like to put a 1776 engine into,does anyone know of any U.S or German websites that ship to the uk? complete engines, not just the block.all the tinware etc?

Also do i need to consider any other modifications to the ghia? brakes,gearbox etc? Ghia has discs upfront.

Last question,honest!

Any tips on fitting dropped spindles? diy. or is it best left to the pros?

thats it!! cheers Nicko 😛  15575.jpg You have insufficient rights to see the content.

Hey Nicko,

Why Germany or USA!
If you can buy a engine in Belgium for less money!
Build by a proffesional, he build my 2400cc typ 1 engine !
I can ask for a price if you want!!
And shipping the engine to the UK is no problem !

hey guido,
that would be cool if you could,i need to save a bit of cash so im not in a hurry, i have an uncle who owns a bookshop in ghent/gent so maybe i could collect it !! and tie that in with a visit to my uncle.
take it easy nicko.

Nicko!
Some prices from complete engine's,
1776 with ± 85 HP = 4450 euro
1776 with ± 105 HP = 4950 euro
+ shipping, I can ship to the UK , because a friend is delivering every week so it will be not that expencive !!

Regards,

Guido
