[Vwdiesel] Converting 84 Quantum inline TD engine to traverse 80MK1 body.

[decker at toledotel.com]

Hi Ken;
    When switching from Quantum to Rabbit style you need to use the traverse
oil pan and oil pump pickup. I usualy just switch the pan and the bottom
section of the oil pump which has the pickup on it. Both can come from the
engine you are taking out. You will need your traverse engine mounts and
probably alternator bracket. The oil supply line to the turbo can be an
aftermarket flex line and the oil return can be cobbled up easily. Using a
turbo style intake manifold means you need to somehow provide for an air
cleaner in your Rabbit.
