Daz , try and have a word with John from John Maher Racing – what he doesn’t know about VW engines isn’t worth knowing – he is very friendly , informative and supplies excellent kit.

Daz , drop me a mail and I’ll come and pick you up and let you see a converted Beetle engine , it’s in the back of my car right now awaiting delivery . It’s basically an air-cooled flat four VW car engine , I’ve fitted 1834cc cylinders to it and machined the heads to take dual plugs , fitted a Vertex mag to it in place of the distributor , removed the starter motor , removed the crankshaft pulley and fitted a press fit prop hub , cut and turned the intake manifold pipes and fitted a Stromberg carb . Everything has been NDT’d , and inspected by the PFA and it has all the paperwork necessary to allow her to be used in a suitable aeroplane . As my labour is free it has cost the new owner less than £1200 . If you fancy building one yourself I have a spare set of NDT’d crankcases and a spare set of heads , you buy the rest of the stuff and I’ll work through it with you.

I expect you have seen the Jabiru website which lists the engines prices and accessories included.

But you need to ask for the type and get a quote.
Interesting article on Franklin Engines website on the pros and cons of buying a rebuilt engine. Http://www.franklinengines.com/rebuilt.cfm
Some small useful engines at http://www.compactradialengines.com/engines.html
with prices.
Walter engines are now LOM from Moravia at
http://www.moraviation.com/
I think the problem with getting a price is that there are several versions of each engine and many variations in the price! You will need to decide on HP etc then ask for a quote.
Good Hunting.
