Hey everyone I need some help, I have a 76 kombi with a 2ltr motor I'm either looking to rebuild or get a new motor, can anyone help me on what there suggestions would be and where to start looking :)

For what you are wanting to use it for, Irecommend finding a good engine builder and just getting it fully overhauled and kept pretty much standard. That will be the best cost wise, and the 2 l engine properly rebuilt will satisfy you. I had my 2 l rebuilt 8 yrs ago by Conti engines up here in Qld and it still sits on 110 on the highway no problems at all, starting to feel a little tired on bigger hills though. Not sure who is best to see down there. Have a look at Rod Penrose Racing for a starting point. I think hes at Kembla https://www.facebook.com/rodpenroseracing/
Thanks for adding me to the group.
I’m looking for a complete turnkey 1600 engine and gearbox to go in 61 Kombi split screen.
Does anyone have one they’d like sell or recommend a reputable dealer
Thanks in advance

Rod Penrose can do both. Check out the website http://rodpenroseracing.com.au. Be a bit patient when calling as he is moving to a new warehouse. You’re better off emailing him. Cheers.
