Looking for an engine, 81-85 3.0 turbo

[DieselBone]

If anyone read my oil post, you know I'm looking for an engine for my dad's wagon. Question, the wagon engines have the oil pump for the rear leveling shocks, will any turbo motor work, or do I need a wagon motor??? I think maybe the SD's had the same kind of pump??? Maybe not. If anyone has one, and maybe a trans, I would like it, closer to PA the better.
Thanks!

Sorry, only a wagon engine will work unless you want to swap the cylinder heads in the process.


...or, you could perform one of the legendary "normal" shock/spring conversions.

I know of a 1985 wagon engine for $1000 in Mobile, AL. I think he wants too much for it but... If you want it I will nail a box on it for you and drop it off at the Forward Air terminal.
