looking for a 1.6na diesel and a ACN 5 speed for a diesel swap! Hit me up
-
is your car a silver 84 rabbit 4dr with a slushomatic trans?
-
Lol yes sir it is ;D
-
oh boy new cars in your own backyard to work on. Like you don't have enough to do. Fix him up eh.
-
i dont know where any engines are, thats why hes posting here..
im going to be helping him with the swap, and we are looking for an engine that DOES NOT need a rebuild..
-
Thought I saw a couple on CL Portland and Salem autoparts, VW or Rabbit as the search word. But they may all be rebuilds not drop ins. I did a couple PM's with him already. School buddies eh?
-
ya ill you have found me is "Gold motors" as Kevin describes them... Im still looking People! Get at me.
-
Gold motors? as in they are worth their weight in gold or it will take their weight in gold to make them worthwhile.
Nothing with that Corvallis group that would work?
Not seeing anything around here to go look at.

everything anyone has showed me, has been that of the premium price group.. people think these engines are gold plated.
there ARE engines available for under $500... i see them all the time..
i keep telling him to not be in a hurry, and one will turn up..
if i were going to spend the better part of a grand on an engine, i basically want a written warranty, or for it to be rebuilt..
i know we can find him a cheapo block, and rebuild it for under a grand..
that guy in corvallis wanted like $650 for an engine that wasnt even complete..

I just looked at an 81 pickup with a diesel engine 5 spd transmission combo with 275K on it earlier this week. Guy finally priced it for 950. Very rough body, interior and I expect engine but hey that's for the whole vehicle not just the engine.

You want me to ship you an AAZ from Kanaduh? lol

hypothetically, what would shipping be from kanaduh to murrica? prolly more than the cost of fuel to drive up and get it..

Depends where your going to get it. West coast? Their cars are immaculate and unlikely to have any motor donors, central ie. Ontario, many many donors.. Simply because the GTA pretty much is half our countries population ;)
-
I heard a bunch of oregonians splashing around in a pool, and I thought I'd hop in. Same ish down here. Just saw a rabbit a blown motor, and EEK....that rust stuff......1500. Seems like nowadays they either fall in your lap, or they get an arm and a leg, just to sit and rot ???.

so, the likely hood of finding a diesel in BC is rather slim? because thats what i would do.. drive to BC.. its like 8 hours from me..

http://eugene.craigslist.org/pts/2833488171.html This help? Edit: Found this when looking for something else. http://portland.craigslist.org/clc/cto/2833813719.html Just posted today so call em, You take the extra engine I'll take the car. We can split the cost.
Getting down that far (Eugene) from where you are at is a bit of a go. Maybe if you set something up I can bring it half way to Portland on a trip up. They you and "that other Astoria guy" can come get it.

low compression engine for 300 bucks? thats a rip off.. it wont even run. it could be a complete junker. i would pass on it..

Well the Rabbit that had the 1.9 in it and that came with an extra 1.9 was sold around noon today. I just got back from a run across town looking at a Caddy with a turbo diesel in it. Cranked and sprayed fuel all over from the injectors. Kind of rough and leaking inside and had 245 K on it. Had a tach on it. What year did they start doing that? 84? Engine and tranny swapped so maybe the instrument cluster as well.
Guy said he generally yanks the diesel and puts in a gasser.

caddy never got a TD or a tach..

That is more or less why I walked away. It was heavily modded in that regard, even had a huge oil cooler on the front under the bumper. Had set for years under some tree or something and the paint was nasty even in the engine compartment. If the guy pulls the engine he may give me a call to see if I want it. I would have liked the turbo and exhaust but he was pulling them for one of his other 4 caddys he said.

Matt and i are more or less looking for a running engine that the owner doesnt want a KIDNEY for..
RUNNING.. not an engine in need of a rebuild..
i can REBUILD an engine for WAY under $1k.. but still.
-
You guys combing the Craigslist autoparts by owner for the Portland and Vancouver areas then? Since I drive half way downstate I expand my searches to the Corvallis and Eugene and once in awhile Roseburg areas.
My trouble is that I only do the drive every other weekend and stuff seems to come and go when I am on the other side of the pond. Parts available in Portland when I am not or the other way around. Folks sell em before I can get there.

Good factory rebuilt 1.6D N/A with 5 speed from an '82 Rabbit. Probably 20K on the motor. I drove the car until the tabs ran out and sold the body. $700 I am south of Seattle. OR somebody sell me a 2 door rabbit body.
-
Still searching. Someone help a brother out

want an AWESOME running 1.5D?
im JUST ABOUT READY to part with my spare engine..
it was the last 1.5 i built, great stock bore OEM block, less than 100k miles, no cracks..
just lemme know bro.. it will get your car running/driving, but wont be a power house, or something that you will be able to boost to the moon.. if you decide to boost a 1.5, you need to either keep boost low-er-ish, or buy head studs, witch isnt a bad idea on ANY VW DIESEL..

Wish you were closer... (I'm in San Jose, CA and looking for a engine and 5 speed to swap into my pickup.)
Regardless, bump!
