Engine advice please

Ok, thinking of getting an exchange engine in Rosie over the winter.
Thinking of a red 1641. New unleaded heads blah blah etc. a few places do em, looking at the engine shop ones at the mo, so if anyone has used em or any advice on the matter would be ace.
Seemed pretty knowledgeable at busfest.

There's a nice looking red 1835 on eBay at the min.
Give the girl some ummph

i'll have a looky.

this one?

Yeah that's the 1 mate sounds pretty good but others on here will prob have better opinion!

How much is it rich??
The engine shop took over from volksspares i think,or someone like that..
They do seem to have a good rep,or at least i dont see any negative stuff about them.
The unleaded heads thing means nothing as they all take unleaded.

its £969.
fancy a 1641 though, for just a bit more oomph. dont want to go hooooge.
Dickie, you run a 1641 dont you? what do you think of it?

run 1641 too, yeah bit more oomph thru the gears and a slighty better top end, had it stuck at 85 a few times for a few miles and hit 90 (private road), definately more fun to drive! :-)

41cc extra doesn,t sound a lot but definately helps. If i was you i would test drive one first before you spend a grand... yep you can borrow mine if your insured or test drive it

Cheers, might look into cost of building one or buying one.
I do like the idea of just whacking it in and having a warranty though.

Theres a 1641 on vzi for sale in worcester £150

thats cheap

Yep. definetly worth a shot.

Bargain!

I'll look, cheers Baz.
Just spent that on Sarah's golf today

Is it the one in Malvern?
No heads but at £150 that's no biggy really.
Looks like it could be sold though
