re. Help ident. an engine

Cody,

 

That sounds like the WX from an Ur Quattro except for the KS.  I don't know if
the earlier 5000T used the dual oil filter setup.  The knock sensor makes it
sound like about a late '84 or '85 5000 TQ - I forget the engine code.

Hey guys, I've got an easy one for you. I was given an engine a while ago that
I kept as a spare, and I'd like to figure out what exactly it is.

 

It's an earlier turbo engine, that much I know for sure. It looks *basically*
like the MC-1 I know and love, but being an earlier one it's got the dual oil
filter setup and the dual throttle switch setup. It does have a knock sensor,
which I thought was introduced with the MC's, but I guess I'm wrong. Doesn't
have the turbo on it, so no help there. It's got an oil cooler with it (lines
are still attached) that is a VW type-4 oil coler with an adaptor plate to
allow it to have the lines screw onto it. It's laying dipstick side down so I
can't get the code without much backache.

 

How simmilar is it to an MC-1, especially the block and cylinder head
themselves?
