1.5L gas engines - where are they?

I am looking for a 1.5L (1,457 CC) gas engine. They are supposed to have been in 75-80 rabbits, sciroccos, jettas, and passats.

I can not locate them anywhere. Either in a car or stand alone.

Does anyone know where to find this engine? I thought it would be easier to locate. We’re there not a lot of these offered in the US?

Thanks

That would be the 1471 cc version from a 75 and would need the 75 head.
The 1457 cc was only used in 78 and some 79 rabbits. They had a cast crank and that was the demise of most of them.
Why may I ask would you want that engine? The 1.6 (1588 cc) is a much better engine and easier to find. Even the 1.7 (1715 cc) is better.
