The time has come (almost) to start removing the old engine from my 4WD Tercel, i am almost done with the bodywork. and im ready to start shopping for the VW diesel engine i have decided on. the goal is to install the VW 1.6 TD into the toyota tercel 4wd wagon.
I am looking for a complete, 1.6 TD SB/MF-code engine in good condition. dont particularly care how much life is in the turbo unit itself, as i have been eyeing one on ebay thats new and larger that i may get eventually. Ideally i guess id like to buy a complete wrecked/rusted car that has this particular engine in it so i can pick thru it at my leisure and have any other parts i may need on hand for the conversion...
I also would like to get ahold of a duplicate block, head and oil pan to use for sizing things up when i work out the patterns for fabricating adapter plates and custom engine mounts etc...these parts can be completely ruined, all i need them for is so i have somthing to hold in place to get the adapter plate made without messing with the actual engine i plan to use...
I am located in Gettysburg Pennsylvania, and would like to deal locally (within 100 miles or so)if possible, but will consider anything far and wide.
