Greetings,

I have a 2002 VW Golf TDI and had a weird idea.

Would it be possible to drop my TDI engine into a Jeep Wrangler?

I don't have a specific model year in mind for the Wrangler. Are there mechanics that do this (ie - if I bought a Wrangler with no engine and brought my car to a mechanic, would they be able to make the swap?)?

Also, would my 2002 TDI engine be able to power handle the Wrangler?

Please let me know if anyone knows anything about this. Thanks!

- Phill

Power, with a good intercooler and chip tune yes. If you go rear drive only (more efficient too) and use a Toyota manual box with the ACME converter plate should be easy enough.
