I see 1.9 Turbo Diesel blocks are available from the Parts Place in Michigan. If I could lay my hands on the intake, exhaust, turbo from a 1.6TD motor AND if I could lay my hands on the diesel bell housing, transmission input shaft, and motor mounts. I could put a 1.9TD in my 84 Vanagon. Diesel power enough to move my big box. With the "normal" 4 speed tranny what RPM would I be spinning @ 65 mph? Will the diesel do this reliably? Does anyone have the parts laying around they want to sell to do this conversion? ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com |
