[Vwdiesel] swap idea, has anyone done this

[James Hansen]

I would be a tad concerned about weight with the TD too Ray.  I knew a
German guy that was a salesman for a medical company in western Canada that
put a bazillion miles on, and was a VW diehard. Did rounders from Calgary to
Vancouver, Edmonton, Winnipeg, and back to Calgary. In the early 90's he
killed a few td's in Passats and finally gave up and bought a benz, said the
td Passat was like driving a Westy.   The wagon may be less spirited than
some may desire...   but go for it.  If you can find a 97 Passat with the 1Z
tdi, I would highly recommend one.  With mild tuning box, my wife's was
getting 60mpg imperial routinely in her daily drive to work, good car, but
it got hit. That series of Passat would not disappoint from the power AND
economy perspective.

I have found a 93 passat wagon that has the v6 5 speed trans. i would like
to swap in a 91 jetta td, 1.6 motortrans. it appears that the engine/trans
mounts are in the right position. also i thought i would use the jetta
axles. 
because it is the v6, it has the 5 lug wheels.
