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....

You really need an adjustable sling to tilt the engine in...

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...
