Feeler, 2 1.5 engines for sale, maybe

[TDDrew]

I have 2 1.5 diesel engines. 1 is from a dasher and looks like it's been rebuilt. The head is clean, new gaskets everywhere and very clean inside.
I got another one from a friend that's been sitting forever, needs to be torn down and cleaned up at the least as it had some water in it.

I was wondering if there would be any interest in these in the current condition or if I should rebuild and sell or just scrap them.

I have a few 1.5 motors sitting around as well! i have a good rebuildable long block listed on THESAMBA.COM for $125 bucks to see if anybody wants it? iv'e had alot of hits and interest but no one has followed through and bought it from me yet? the 1.5 blocks are only good if you don't have to bore it out! there are no oversize pistons available for them anymore! but iv'e heard that you can use 1.6 pistons but you have to use the crank and do some other stuff that i can't recall off hand? but please don't scrap them they will be needed some day after all they are the orignal fuel sipping diesel motors that VW produced! i think they were ahead of thier time?
thanks Duane

Well if it's a 1.5 I'l just chuck it on the pile and be on my way...damn redheads
I want a 1.6TD.   I am going to p'n'p this weekend and I will be keeping an eye out for goodies.
90706, I've driven by there several times on my way to and from Phoenix, AZ. But I am not familiar with that area. I just know traffic sucks down South more than it does in San Jose.
Siberia, IN? Huh, I went to school for a few months in IL. I hate, HATE the rainy weather there.

You mean you can remove the old sleeves and get new ones just like a BIG truck diesel?

I could be interested in 1.5 pistons + rods + crank.

  No not like that! the block would be bored out to accept the sleeves! then a deep freeze on the sleeves and  even heat on the block so the sleeves can be pressed it and then deck machining to flatten it out! something like that?

I grew up right where the I605 and 91 freeway intersected! Bellflower,Norwalk,Cerritos,Lakewood,Longbeach
now i miss those 50 degree winters I took them for granted!

I could be interested in giving a set to you  but I'm pretty far away and I don't know what condition the other interals are in.

Ohh, f-that, that sounds expensive. It would be sweet to have replaceable cylinders though. I'm just gunna keep it stock for now, then find a TD.

Yep, can't beat the weather in most areas of CA.
