Re: Precision pump & Geo 3 cylinder engine 
There are places where you can buy the whole engine plug and play for the VW beetle. They are no where near 300 lbs. I have two of the vw engines mounted on light aircraft. The geo engine is good also. The VW engine is aircooled and the Geo is water cooled and must have a radiator. I believe the 1600 CC with single port heads may have been 45 Hp and dual port heads are 60 HP. The heaviest VW engine I have is a 2100 CC and it weighs 158.

Re: Precision pump & Geo 3 cylinder engine
I knew there was no way that they could weigh that much but everyone I have talked to say they do. I guess they don't really know what there talking about.
I still like the geo concept. It seems like somewhat a challenge and I love fabricating things.
There's a place that sells rebuilt vw long blocks near me but they want nearly $2k. Plus I would have to buy the essentials to get it running. All the used ones for sale near me either need rebuilt or are full blown race built for sandrails. I can get a good low mileage geo motor with a warranty from salvage yard for $350.

Re: Precision pump & Geo 3 cylinder engine
Sometimes you can buy a whole car cheaper than just a motor. If you can mechanic they are simple to rebuild. The geo is a good engine also. But if everything is already setup for a VW, you wouldn't have all the machine work to do. CB Performance did have rebuilt VW engines at one time. I believe that VW started making the 1600CC about 1971.

Re: Precision pump & Geo 3 cylinder engine
Nope, could if I wanted, those are 100% Precision made, back up and running.
Here's the website for you if you need those floats, which I say you do unless you are going to build a 6" dredge.

Why thank you Hoser
I contacted Precision to see if by chance they still make the adapter. Wyatt says they do and he's supposed to be calling me today to talk about it.

Re: Precision pump & Geo 3 cylinder engine
Well unfortunately the precision adapter costs $700 so I will have to fab up my own. I really like caau_miners set up and plan on doing something like that.
