Hi Steve,

You need to find a scrapyard that's breaking a Diesel
Vanagon.  You need the bellhousing, the oil pan (sump), the
oil pick-up tube, the rear engine bar and mounts complete
and the extra mount that isn't there on a WBX Vanagon.

Here in the UK, where turbo Diesel conversions are extremely
popular, the 'going rate' for that set of parts is about GBP
150.00, or US $280.
