This is a used Volkswagen Thing/Beetle Dual Port Engine Block AM 008581. I took this from a rusted out Volkswagen Thing showing 53,000 miles. Engine is probably original  miles as it had no end play and the rest of it all looked to never be out of the car as it was sitting since 1996. It of course does turn freely and all of the rods seem pretty nice on the crank. I would be willing to guess all the bearings are the original German ones as the inside of the case has not been messed with. What you see is basically what you get, as far as what parts are included with the block. Any Questions feel free to e-mail me.
