I've been getting a lot of great info from this forum so I figure it's time to tell you what I've been up to.
I'm swapping an ALH TDI into a 1992 4runner.
I bought the 4runner specifically for this project about two months ago, you can find that story on russellness.com
The ALH is from a 2003 jetta, I bought it from a wrecking yard. If I were starting this project all over again, I would've bought a crashed jetta so that I would have had everything. Now I'm scrambling to find parts that the wrecking yard kept for themselves. We (my mechanic and I) were promised a complete engine, and I was too naive to know better when I picked it up. I've heard this referred to as the stupid tax
The pictures are:
1. pulling the old V6 (for sale if anyone is interested, it misfires)
2. pulling the tdi out of the back of the 4runner
3. put the adapter plate on
