Heh.  Over in the corner of the garage, I've got a '81 5 cyl diesel
with a 4 speed trans bolted to it.  Acquired when I had the '86 5kCSTQ,
with the idea of building a turbo diesel quattro when the gas engine 
expired.  No matter how hard I tried to overboost the gas engine,
it didn't expire and I sold the 5kCSTQ with 200,000 miles on it.

I've no idea what's a good price.  This engine has about 100K miles
on it, is NA now but could be turbo'ed.  Make me a reasonable offer.
