Let me get the car here this weekend...any suggestions for pricing on a complete conversion kit. Not looking for top dollar but it will take me alot of time to pull everything. I know the clutch is bad.
I bought a diesel vanagon (non-turbo) for the conversion parts. Switched the bellhousing and input shaft to my gas tranny. Bought a passat TD exhaust manifold so it would clear the engine mounts. Needed to rotate turbo. Engine from a Jetta TD - alternator bracket would not work. Engine sits too far back with gas tranny so we had to make 2 inch metal plates to adapt to existing engine mounts. No power steering or a/c yet but both are coming with serpentine belt setup.
45 mpg and these engines are good for well over 500k miles
