For sure Mike, I see your points. I was suggesting that 'with some
guidance' it could be done. But thats my point of view through engine
swap obsessed eyes.    ;)    LOL.
And, yes; a TDI is way more involved than a TD swap.
The wiring harness on a TDI swap would be a big job for a newb.

I hope your conversion can be sorted out w/o too much trouble.

Neil.
