He put an entire engine in .... then took it out?
I suspect what happened was that he figured out that the TD engine has a different head...with the built in rear suspension hydraulic pump.... LOL
How much did he charge for all this stuff ?
It is not that the engine would not fit... and it would make no difference if the 80 engine was from a wagon also....
I would get away from this guy fast if he did not research enough to know about the head difference...
