Aircooled.net is undoubtedly my preference for purchasing engine parts. My second choice is Gene Berg Enterprises.Their business philososphy centers around customer service and to avoid selling many of the crap aftermarket products that other vendors will gladly sell you. Aircooled.net has the best or one of the best reputations for customer service. You pay a bit more, but avoid hassling with crap parts that don't fit well and have a high failure rate. If you are building an engine for your VW Bus and reliability is important, this is your best VW parts source.

Bus Boys specialize in stocking parts specifically for Bus owners. Many rebuilt parts, to include do it yourself ball joint replacement. Not the least expensive, but high quality supplier of hard to find VW bus parts. This a small friendly operation that knows Buses What I like about Bus Boys is that the same person has been taking my orders for the past 15 years and knows what the differences are on a 1971 VW Bus from a 69'er - unlike the Big Box operations elsewhere that outsource their ordering operations so they can operate 24/7.

Products vary, one year it may be your only source for N.O.S. German heater boxes and another for those wonderful Brazilian rearview mirrors. Their packing for shipping is sloppy - so order heavier parts separately. Also, their lead time upon ordering is about 2 - 3 weeks to your door - which indicates they do a lot of drop shipping from other vendors. I use them for body parts and difficult to source items.

On the downside - you'll be looking at 6 to 8 weeks before your engine ships. Good machine shops have a queue and eveyone gets to wait their turn. It's worth the wait for a motor built by a VW specialist - who even takes the time to run the motor on a test stand to complete the initial breakin.
