Disclaimer: My first few posts will be copies from a build thread on another site.
Here is some information about what I am doing. The truck is a 1983 Toyota pickup. The engine is a AHU from a 1998 Jetta. Currently I am going to be running this truck as an M-TDI using a Land Rover 300 TDI pump. I am using an intercooler from a Volvo, as well as the radiator (both fit nicely in the Toyota). For the time being I will be using the stock K03 turbo. The truck has a w56 5 speed transmission with dual cases. The rear axle will have a locker when I am done. Here are some shots from when I started the project.
Its first bath in 2 or so years.
Old engine pulled, ready for the new power plant
Fitting the adapter plate
First test fit. As I imagined, I am going to have to remount the transmission because it is too far back. But as you can see this engine is way smaller than the 22r. I will have no problem fitting an intercooler and all the needed stuff in this engine bay.
