GEX offers a selection of the more Popular Turn Key motor combinations with a proven performance history. The 1600 cc dual port head, upright motor was about the most popular motor size used by Volkswagen through most of the 70's.
They first started appearing in the 1971 Volkswagen bugs and busses. This motor is also a good upgrade for pre 1971 Volkswagen vehicles, easily replacing the 15-1600 cc single ports as well as the 12-1300 cc engines with almost no modifications. It offers major improvements in cylinder head design, carburetion, oiling and cooling, over these earlier motor configurations. It also offers much better performance and reliability and our GEX version is covered by our 12 month or 12,000 mile warranty. An optional 36 month or 36,000 mile warranty is also available.
Starting with a Premium long block with rebuilt heads, the basic Turn Keys include:

To help keep your engine running cool, all GEX Turn Keys utilize the larger, more efficient 'Dog House' style oil cooler and shrouding as well as the wider (23%) late model Super Beetle type cooling fan.
