[Vwdiesel] Looking for an engine...

[Kurt Nolte]

Well, unless something horrible happens, I've found my conversion 
vehicle, to put me in a diesel with some style (No offense to you 
Vanagon TD drivers. ;)). A '73 Karmann Ghia.

Now, with that on its way to being squared away, I need an engine to put 
in it. Seeing as how the 1.6TD isn't that much heavier than the 
flat-four 1600cc aircooled, that's my choice of the moment.

Problem here. I don't have one, but I do have a 2.0L five cylinder. It's 
too heavy, but it might be good for some barter. Anyone on this list, 
preferably East Coast (or just East of the Mississippi (I hate spelling 
that word, it never seems "right" when I'm done), really), have a 1.6 TD 
they'd be willing to offer up for sale for this project? Runner 
preferred, but I'll take a non-runner/rebuilder/in pieces engine for the 
right price.

While am at it, also, anyone here have a VNT 15 or 17 they'd be willing 
to part with, and I'll also be looking for a pair of smallish 
intercoolers; two small ICs make sense with the layout I'm considering, 
I'm trying to keep everything in that rear engine bay to minimize the 
number of lines I have to run back and forth from front to back.

My thanks in advance!
-Kurt
