Auto Salvage yard in N. Litle Rock specializing in = foreign vehicles had a 94 Passat VR6 motor for sale for the seemingly = unbelievable price of $600.  Some of the electronics are missing(and probably = expensive to replace).  Not sure of mileage on the motor as the car is long = gone.  would think the long block would be worth that even as a core.  = Phone number is 501-945-2333.  Ask for Leslie or John.   They = are friends, but I have no interest in the motor or the business.  They = also had a couple of 5 cyl. cheap including a turbo minus the blower.  Conversion freaks take not.
