Methinks you need better mounts. Why is the engine mounted transversely?
At least you've made the conversion to air-cooled, though. Almost makes it look stock.

And I thought instead of trying to sell that "eurovan" you'd actually improved it!

I called the JY and asked to have it on a pallet and ready to go. I get there it is not on a pallet and they dont have any bands. Not only that the forklift wasnt working so we loaded the pallet into the van and put the engine on a bobcat. Nothing was damanged but you can imagine the rest.
Taking it out was an easy one man job with a cherry picker. Word on the street is my pressure plate will be here tomorrow so I will be hot on getting the engine out and back in this weekend. Then again, I wanna get the engine and bay super clean....

All Diesel engines are good, ya know they go a million miles.
 I don`t know about other wrecking yards, but the PNP`s won`t let you start them. I have several I have pulled and dragged home. If I find out they aren`t anygood, I at lest have some good spare parts, and if not, I`ll take up fishing and have a good supply of boat anchors. Charlie

HOLY TRAP OX BATMAN!
Yes, what is the condition? Do they allow you to start engines at the yard you bought it? Or maybe you just needed a parts donor. Quote:

I paid $500 for it on my credit card with a 30 day warranty against knock smoke or whatever else was on the list. No mileage just that it ran good. Put a can of degreaser on her and washed her town. After that I turned the engine by hand and all the strokes seemed fairly even. As long as the block is good I have a #22 head to put on it. The odd part is that it has a OEM fuel filter on it. To me, this indicates it was serviced at a dealership and yet still had the football. The compression in mine has always been bad and has a knock with wavy cylinders. Hopefully this fits the bill.
