Bjorn,
Great review on the engine review.

I can get NEW TDIs and 1.9TD in North Americia.  No pricing for the TDI but
a NEW 1.9L TD complete with Alternator and flywheel is $3650 US plus
shipping [my cost].  These are Industrial engines so they do not come with
a warranty if used in a vechicle.  Quite the job convincing the guy to sell
these to me!  I thought I would pass this on if you were interested.

Also, Ron's Parts has a 1.8L Turbo from an Audi A4 sitting on their floor
with complete wiring harness and transmission - ching!  $5000 CAD.  Ouch!

Anyhow.  Good luck on the engine swap project - perhaps I'll see you in
three weeks?
