Today's fun dropping a 617.912 into a 300TD
Here is an update of my wagon project. I bought the car with a blown engine, since I had a 617.912 non-turbo in my parts car I decided to do a swap.... I have about 50 hours into this project and about $400 in parts..... so far... I've replaced seals and gaskets, cleaned and inspected everything and bought a new AC compressor.
Here is the victim with the dead engine.... |

To retain the engine shock feature, you must swap the engine carriers. The non-turbo carriers will work in a turbo chassis but you will not be able to install the non-turbo shocks. Here is a pic of the right side carriers, the turbo one has the shock...
