Just like it says. Looking at possibly picking up a Fox Wagon from across the border while I'm up here, and I'd love to drop a diesel in it for the trip home.
1.5, 1.6, 1.6TD, hell even 1.9/TD, doesn't matter to me, just so long as it either runs, is close to running, and isn't going to cost me more than the wagon it'd be going into.
Minnesota, Wisconsin, Indiana, Illinois, Ontario (I'm nearish to Thunder Bay right now, car's over in Kitchener), I could probably even delve into the Dakotas and as far as Iowa if I had to...
Whatcha guys got.
-
Wow you're driving all over the place. There is a 1.6TD in Hamilton ON for $250, it has 500k kms on it but is complete with the cluster even
-
yeah, look in the Canadian Classifieds on the 'tex for "marquis" He's itching to sell it.
-
Nah, that was just setting the range that I'd be able to work with to come pick something up. :D
No, really I'm fairly stuck on this base, so I'm trying to get a feel for things now... then I can get stuff done without a hitch. When I move, I can move quickly to snag everything I aim for.
Thanks for the lead on Marquis, I'm checking it out now.

I'm guessing the EcoD and the '85 Golf are motors with cars still attached?
Where in Western NY are you, out of curiousity?

Would "long block" in this case happen to include the injection pump?
You're easily the closest, I think...
-
no sorry no I.P. did not get one with that motor .all it is is block,crank,pistons,head valve cover. all is still bolted together! sounds like it's not what you need you really need a complete engine that has everything for a swap into that fox? if i get one i'll post it! thanks Duane
-
I sourced an IP pretty easily in this area, but I'm a bit hesitant to grab an engine that needs retiming, since my dial gauge and tools are in SC still. I have wrenches and such at the shop on base, but I'd need that gauge.
That'd be awesome if you found a complete engine; I don't need the accessories, I'll just transfer over the alternator and such from the Fox if I do it.
-
Ihave a dial gage! if you brought everything you need to transfer over to the 1.5 we can time it here and send you on your way with a timed engine block i would proably need to pull out an old tranny to bolt to it to get the crank lined up! but i got all the tools here to do it! it can be done! does that work for you?
thanks Duane
-
Hey, that'd be a pretty cool deal actually. Then it'd just be a matter of swapping it over once I got back to base and the shop setup here.
Well, I go talk to Customs tomorrow about the Fox and what all I'd have to do to import it. I think mentioning that it's getting a US-spec engine (I just won't say what kind of engine, since diesel wasn't an option anywhere...) might help; we'll see what they say.
Won't be hard at all to register in SC, at any rate; VIN number and bill of sale, they check the VIN, and boom, title and go.
-
I'd keep the engine swaqp hush hush unless they asked

Right-o. Would it help, you think, to tell them that it's basically being imported for parts, but the easiest way to get it across the border is to drive it?
-
I don't know. I've never gone across with a car. blacktiegtd has taken a car home but he was going to opposite way

Thanks for the lead, but I'm actually going Fox so I can get a smaller car and a stick while still getting a wagon. :D I love wagon body styles, and the two-door, manual transmission, longitudinal Fox really strikes a sweet spot in what passes for my soul, ya know?
One of those cars that you look at it the first time and you are just BAM, "I LOVE THIS CAR." type deals.
-
I know what you mean.
There is a Fox wagon south of here, with the rear smashed a little, and a parts wagon in a local salvage yard to patch it up with, it has a little rust but I really like it... I mean REALLY.
I've stopped by a couple times but haven't caught him home.... it's parked out back by the other cars now so I might be able to get it cheap,... and my buddy got a quantum TD that kinda runs, sorta.
I smell a future project, if I can get some of the other projects out of the way.
-
Well, on the recommendations of several people on this board and Vortex, including the seller... I'm going to let this one go.
However, Duane, I'd still like to talk to you about that engine you're selling; I might be able to take it off your hands still, and put it in that Dasher I have back home. Willing to pallet it up and get it to a shipper?
-

Really doesn't matter if it runs right now or not, really I just need the bottom end assembly to be freely rotating. The engine in the Dasher has a couple of seized pistons, likely from sitting so long out in the backyard of some house somewhere, but the head is good, injectors aren't corroded to it, pump seems to be good and pumps fuel.
I'd swing by and pick it up, but alas, if I cannot find a Fox Wagon to pick up, I'll be going home via Greyhound. I don't really need the car, so I can afford to be picky about what I buy type-wise. I've fallen in love with the Fox Wagon, and I think it would make a beautiful base car for my diesel-powered hypermileage project.
I'll give you a call at some point though, maybe we can work something out? When would be a good time to call you?
