[Vwdiesel] Looking for an engine...

[B & R Decker]

Hi Kurt
	In a related subject did the Volvo 6 cyl diesel come with a 5 spd
tranny? I'm looking to build a Locost roadster ( Lotus 7 type ) with an Audi
5 cyl turbo gas from a 5000.  I would need a rear wheel drive tranny that
would fit an Audi 5 cyl gas. The Volvo 6 cyl gas was a VW-Audi design.
I'm thinking that might be the answer.

Well. So long as I don't hit snags with the tradeoff (if I do, we've got 
a slightly new ballgame) of KG for SB, then I'm looking for a turbo or 
turbo-able (piston squirters installed) 1.6 liter VW diesel. Rebuilt 
would be excellent, but I'll take all the way down to "a crate of parts 
from a project started and never finished" so long as the prices are right.

However, it's always good to have a backup plan, so: I have gone back to 
trawling for Volvo bodies, and located several potential engines for 
same. I may need to be talking to you guys for parts, instead! ;)

Sorry if I seem a little, well, bouncy; I take life a little 
dynamically, shifting back and forth as the situation changes.
