I recently acquired a "new" engine for my Bug. It came with two old clutches I can use to try it out in the car. The whole package cost $40. I did not get this new engine because the one I had didn't work, only because while the engine that came with the car came from California and has the heat ducts closed off. The engine I just got, however, is from my area (which is a bit north of California), and has heat ducts already in place, although they need replacing. I am planning to try and start this engine out of the car, as the shrouds on the other one are off for cleaning.Monday, 1 June 2009

I did not know they shut off the heater ducts in California. As the past owner of some 1/2-dozen bugs plus one Karman-Ghia (my favorite) in NY, I can attest that it makes no difference. My shins remember freezing to this day.
