RE: possible engine swap topic??

The original VW Fox (late 80s) used a RWD configuration  with the water 
cooled four banger, so the transmission from one should bolt up to a VW 
diesel too. Might as well turbo that puppy while your at it - free energy 
and no detonation worries with a diesel :-).

VW Jetta diesel.  Now if only I could get that engine in a rwd 
configuration for my Spit (yes, I hear you all cringing as I type...), it 
would not only be a rocket (100hp) and stump puller (177 ft lb torque!!), 
but would get over 40mpg (I've never gotten over 25 or 26 in that car).  
But I do wonder how many rear ends all that torque would tear out of the 
car.....
