Not much use as a conversion engine without the harness or ECM.

Brings back memories
I remember when living in Milwaukee about 1959 that American Motors ran a large ad on the Automotive pages that they had, (as I recall) some 900 Hudson Hornet 308s with Twin H Power engines for sale. All had the aluminum head. Price was $238.00, you could buy it from your favorite dealer and pick it up at the Clements Ave Parts Plant. Your choice while they lasted was either a flywheel or a torque convertor ring gear. I took the opportunity to renew the engine in my very nice 54 Hornet Hollywood Hardtop Coupe with 3 speed and overdrive. Should have kept that car. First engine swap I ever did. It seemed difficult at the time, mostly because I did not have the tools. As I recall I used a borrowed "come along" to get the engine in and out. Anyway, getting back to these jeep engine. That is a TDI I think. How critical is the computer/electronics on that engine. I just finished replacing my M103 in my W124 with a good one, but a good 4 cylinder TDI is something to consider. Sure would like that mileage. Also, the way I read the bid, they are selling all engines on one bid. Probably will go to a boat builder.

I'm thinking without the ECMs all you'd be able to do is run the starter and spin the engine.....I wonder how much the ECM for it costs....

Lack of ECU is a problem, yes.. but maybe there's something for them diesels like there's the MegaSquirt for gassers?
