I would have to look. Which casting numbers do I need? I have one driver's side reman, one driver's side NOS and one passenger NOS.

Three heads total. Looking to offload them for around $100 a piece plus shipping. Pictures available, but I will be slow at getting them to you. Parts are located 45 minutes away (parents' house). Sold

I would be interested in the vw adapter and flywheel, possibly the engine. I'll pm you an offer.

Thanks for the info. I am about to come into a VW rail project, so I'll be ordering one of these soon.

I believe I have the driver's side view mirror. It's in okay shape. I will try to get some pictures tomorrow when it isn't raining. If you have any extra brat parts, I may be willing to trade my extra Brat taillight?

Interested in the full black carpet and the stock air cleaner.Price shipped to zipcode 35120 Odenville, AL? Thanks

Do you have the # for the seal or is it something easily matched at the parts store?

1978-1981 with some exceptions (i.e. water pump)

I have an electric pusher fan on my 78 Brat, but would feel a little more comfortable if I also had a mechanical clutch fan (if it's feasible). I would need the whole assembly. I also need a radiator comb. Some of my fins are bent!

My weber fed ea71 just runs off the centrifugal adv. Seems to do just fine.

I have been wanting to adapt the original air cleaner to my Weber every since I got my Brat. And I don't even have the original air cleaner! Thanks for the tutorial. I'm all over it now.

Let me think about it. Just got off work. Will give you an answer this weekend.

Birmingham, AL is the closest Greyhound station to me.

Give me a price, shipped to zipcode 35120 (Odenville, AL). I haven't been that far north. Wouldn't know what to do with myself up there.

Deal. I'll definitely do that I will try that. I will also spray the lifters. The engines looked to have been stored reasonably well I mighty be willing to sell it. It's pretty nifty. I'm not sure how much I would want for it yet though.

I would be interested in the fenders and carpet.

Awesome. Give me until this weekend to pull those two parts out from my pile. I've started a new job that's absolutely killing me, physically. Assembly work is not as easy as I thought it'd be. Maybe I could trade them towards one of those cylinder heads.

I've been trying to find some info on EA71 swapped VW's. Not a lot coming up, but there was a Brazilian abomination of sorts EA71 powered Bay Window. I am looking to source a transmission adapter for, say, an air cooled VW Beetle 4speed manual to start. I found an Aussie site, Volks Conversions, that listed one. Contacted them, awaiting reply. Does anyone know of any old build threads on here that I could peruse? Search won't let me look for EA71 stuff as the boolean string is too small.

Pictures of the other stuff: http://s211.photobucket.com/user/chicorunsfunny/library/chicorunsfunny016 I have a box of bagged bolts also, but didn't feel like going through those yet,

I just bought a NOS longblock EA71 and an EA71 shortblock. Both have since sat up, and I was wondering what I should do to get them moving again. Teardown? I am betting that the lifters are the main culprit, as they look otherwise well kept (left in a crawlspace). I also have a good bit of Subaru parts like seals, electronic ignitions, two carbs/intakes, clutch cables, etc. Some are for newer Subarus, and I will likely sell/trade most of it off. Nothing of much monetary value though. Pictures are in this album: http://s211.photobucket.com/user/chicorunsfunny/library/chicorunsfunny015 I cataloged some of the stuff already. I have a ton of water pump gaskets (smaller, self contained one), headgaskets, keyed door locks, etc. I plan on building the short block to gain some experience before tackling the long block. I am just short one cylinder head.

User bonvo had one similar to that. I got my subaru lust from his posts on another forum

Awesome. PM sent

I traded a 1978 Volkswagen Bus for this Brat. Brats don't exist in my part of the country, hardly. I've had three VW buses thusfar, and they are a bit of a money pit. The only Volkswagen that I dare afford is my Beetle. I figure it's better to let someone else fuss with the Type 4 money-pit engines. Even though mine was running fine, I always had the cost of new cylinder heads in the back of my mind - should anything ever happen. That, plus our 1994 Mustang broke down on the way back from looking at it served as a bit of a bad omen (lost rear differential seal and pinion bearing on I-65).

Thanks. I've been working on the Brat a little today. I installed a Hayden electric fan controller to operate the PO's electric fan. I hope to get two electric fans at a later date. Not sure how well this one will cool as it's mounted on the front of the radiator, more towards the center. Kinda small. I've got a repair manual coming in the mail, but it will likely be too broad in focus. I only paid $6 for it though. In the next week or so, I hope to have my front passenger cv boot replaced, rear brakes fixed, etc.
