Subject:      TD engine for 83 Westie info needed
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii


Title says it...


I have a decent 83 Westie project I bought last fall (blown engine after
less than 1500 miles from Hayman motors in TO.  $3400 spent kindof put the
PO off) Located a good TD motor I want to put into it...problem is, I've
heard the TD motor doesn't fit without "modifying" the engine bay...


If anyone has first hand knowledge of doing this, please let me
know...will be looking for a NEW Vanagon oil pump for this setup as the
bill in the glovebox said the one in it now was "weld modified"...any bets
that's why the engine blew after that short a time...


Also have a fresh 1.8 gas engine from my 85 Jetta  I'm considering, but
preference is the TD...just to be different...LOL.
