Project standstill as I have turbo issues with the other car and I need 340.00 just to buy the aluminum plate so I can then poke holes into it. That will wait a few weeks...

Aluminum is bought and I pulled the engine in the jeep over the labor day weekend. I am far from mounting anything into it, but progress none the less.

Pauter Rods TDI-260-506-1440F VW 1.9L TDI
Looking at these for the jeep...realizing that money doesn't grow on trees. Anyone know where the cheapest spot these can be found?

I posted it as a place to find it later and no one would question it. I think you are the only one to read this thread since RoR quit talking about the trans with me.
It was good info

Better get working on that Jeep of yours. How is it coming along? I have finally started putting my engine together after all these years. Hope I remember where I put all the parts!!!

I don't work on stuff when it is cold unless I have to. I haven't touched it since October or there about. I will start working on it soon. Still snowboarding now, so when that is done and I have some firewood cut, I will look into it again. IF I am still employed...I kind of cannot stand my work situation presently.

I understand the cold part, kind of why I had parts early this winter, but am just starting to work on mine now. Dislike my job as well, but I will probably be moving at some point, so having a drivable car is a lot easier than having to tow it and carry lots of parts. Good luck on yours and keep me/us informed!

I may have exactly what you want. I have a 1987 YJ, with a 4 speed toploader ford tranny. I have a good Mercedes 240 diesel. Mounts are complete, engine has been fitted, and it ran and drove. Currently the engine is pulled, and I am refabricating the bell-housing to accept a hydraulic lever clutch. All parts are on hand.
Additionally, I have used a 5-cylinder manifold, blocked off one exhaust port, and fitted the turbo, so I was going to turbo-interecool it.
The RPM band of the 240 diesel perfectly mates with the gearing of the jeep with stock tire (30") or could work with a little bigger.
Body is southern totally rust-free and everything works.
It originally used the factory center mounted hydraulic clutch, which is prone to failure (did).
It is powder blue with factory paint, which looks good. It is in my shop taking up one bay, a space I could use.
The real issue is I just don't have the spare time to do the project. Even if I complete it, I really have no use for it when it is running. I already have a 4BT project, which I have ran for years in my 68 Bronco, and now pull to convert to 5 speed from automatic. That is a priority project.
$3000, and all you need to do is put the parts together and enjoy the fun.
