[T2] Question on replacing a 1600 engine.

[JohnK]

In central Los angeles area and need a replacement engine. 71 1600 T2.

Any opinions on where (many air-cooled mechs have retired within 20  
mile radius).
Any opinions on what? 30 yrs ago  had a GTX which didnt last . A  
local non-vw mech has made an offer, but he would purchase through a  
catalog.
Any news on the new engines  from Mexico?

needed sooner than soon. Can't rebuild this one, and need a quick  
switch as it's daily driver.

thanks
