Just thought this was neat to see on tv. Watching Extreme 4x4 on spike tv they are gonna do a VW td engine swap into a sammi.

so if all of you who want to do it. Watch tv to see what goes on.

Acme sells the kit for $895. I'd like $700 for it. New, in box.

they use an Axis kit from rocky road..the left out a lot of info when they swaped the 1.6 in...like a custom flywheel and a Izusu starter that the kit required

I saw the previews, I don't believe that they did much but swap it in.

Good show though, I learned quite a bit on welding and crap like that.

As far as Jessi Combs, I would do things to her that are illegal to do to farm animals in Alabama!
