[Vwdiesel] Help with ID of an engine

[MLightner]

Dear Listees,

Were any of the VW diesel offerings painted green at the factory?  I 
picked up a NA block  w/head at a scrapyard,
and the block is green. The IP is still on it, as is one of those 
boxy-looking A/C compressors (which is mounted on the exhaust-side of 
the engine, and it has some of the hardware for mounting along the 
longitudinal axis instead of transversely.  Just wondering if any of 
this would ring a bell with anyone.

As always, thanks for any info.

Mike
