where can I get a ABA block with low KM?

Re: where can I get a ABA block with low KM? (kickster)

I picked up mine from EuroSpeed in T.O
223 Geary Ave
Toronto, Ontario
416-535-3434
He wasn't thrilled about breaking apart the engine but sold me my ABA block with 30000kms for $600.

My complete (minus the distributor ) ABA engine was $350, and it had 47K miles on it (75K KMs?).
The next one I get I was told I can have for $325
A free engine from the dealer with a bad head? I wish that deal was around when I was doing the engine swap!

Lately, the rear passenger wheel cylinder is leaking brake fluid, and I'm pretty sure my AC compressor is on the way out, and possibly the alternator too
The diveshafts have started clicking in the corners, the battery is ****e I think, and I need to get new fuses for my headlights.
Oh, and I still haven't messed with the shift linkage or tried anything with it, and going into 2nd gear still grinds, so 0-60 runs are out until the tranny can be shifted with at least some sort of regularity
I don't even recall what it was running 0-60...mid 7's?
Oh, and the wheel bearing is shot.
For the 91 GTI, the problems include....
This summer I'll go back over the Golf again.
Possibly.
My cousins parent run a little used car lot. He called me to show me the new ride he is going to get.
He never keeps a car longer than 6 months...so possibly in a few, I might be trying to buy a 1983 Cabby I like no tops...that is kind of cool. Also kind of cool? A lightweight MK1 chassis made even lighter by removing the roof!
I'm thinking the ABA would make a mover out of that little CIS guy.
Anyway....

Yeah, I'm hip.... That is what I'm finding out anyway....Pops was telling me a convertible is heavier than a regualr car...I thought he was nuts. Crap
So the MK1 Cabby is as heavy as a MK2 GTI?
So for sure a MK1 Cabby is heavier than a MK1 Golf....dang. How much heavier, does anybody know? I bet a good place to ask would be the A1 Forums...I'm quick like that.
Well...crap. I wonder if the MK1 Cabby is lighter than my 2650lb 4 door MK2 Golf?
OK, enough off-topic!
