[Vwdiesel] Diesel conversions

[William J Toensing]

There was something else I just though of. In Japan they have some real draconian auto inspection laws that require very expensive safety inspection laws for 3 or 4 year old cars, designed to get older cars junked to be able to sell more new cars. As a result, many cars with less than 30,000 miles are junked or exported to third world countries. In junking these cars, the engines & transmissions are often salvaged & exported over here. This is why you can buy used Japanese enginesfor around $600 or less. Since many diesels are sold overseas including Japan, it might be possible to find an engine importer who can find you a Japanese diesel long block & transmission.
