Hey guys, I've been digging through here and on google, and im not finding any solid results..

I was wondering if anyone here knows a place that's reputable and not bat shit crazy with there prices to get a long block from, bpy 2.0t fsi that is... any suggestions? I want to price out a future project for shits and giggles. Thanks!

:thumbsup:

hahah i was looking for more of a junkyard salvage place that is more euro specific. I dont give a shit if it's blown up, has 240924098 miles or whatever, it'll just be stripped apart and fully rebuilt.

Google sometimes gets the best of me lol

yeah, i was just trolling. i dont know what youre looking for. you might be able to go to a euro shop and ask them to sell you a blown or old engine they change for a customer. that might be your best bet imo

what are your plans for said engine? Keeping her in a MKV and building her from the ground up or some sort of crazy engine transplant?? I am hoping the latter.

Well, my MKV is going to be getting bags soon, so performance is not high on my list, especially since i just found out the car is APR stage 2+, it'll just get an intake and w/m injection for performance and be done.

It'll be going into a mk2 GTI once funds allow for it. :thumbsup:

I've seen BPYs on eBay motors too. Prices vary wildly, but you can find one stripped of most of the external business like manifolds and such pretty cheap.
That would be perfect, i just want the basics + wiring harness.

:cool::cool:
i was thinking of doing the same thing once im dont with college. i hope yours turns out well. mk2 is the best looking rabbit imo

good luck

Agreed, my buddy has a helios blue gti with a vr6 swap. It's amazing. I just can't find a shell locally or one thats kinda beat up... everyone thinks it's worth gold or something. I can do 99.9% of all the work myself so labor isn't a factor in it. It'll be a project me and my wife can tinker with one of these days

yep, i looked on craigslist one day for an old gti and out of all of ohio, kentucky, and indiana, i only found 1 decent one. guy wants 1k dollars, so its tempting, but i need to sell my truck first
