[Vwdiesel] Looking for a block

[Matt Arant]

Dan,
	Hi, new member here, from Washington Iowa. I have an '81 Rabbit that 
my wife used to kill a deer last month. As much as I hate to admit it, 
I think the repairs will be more than I ever want to tackle, and I 
can't see paying to have it fixed since it was a cheap beater.
	So I'd like to part it out. If you have the skills and the inclination 
to pull the engine in my yard (my garage is full of stuff), I'd let you 
have it cheap. It has the 5-speed, if you're interested in that too. 
And 4 brand new tires, if you're interested in those...
	Can't say the engine is in great shape, but if it would work for you...
