Sounds like you already have the donor car...

That's what I was thinking...

OP, I was the one on Sloppy that was confused by the effort to fit an M47 behind this. Being on sloppy, I assumed you'd modified the TDI motor. If it's just a DD car, that M47 will probably be perfectly happy.

I don't know much but I know better than trying to go fast with a diesel.

Any plans for an supplement oil reservoir? Seems the pan modification might pose a problem of oil starvation.

Nah, I don't see it being a problem. It still picks up from the bottom of the pan, I only moved it rearwards. Oil capacity is a little over 4 quarts.

this is great! too bad the diesel tax system sucks over here.
other brainfart: has anyone tried to put a diesel m90 behind one of these engines? being vw and all.

the startermotor is in the right posision. could be interesting , not only for the use of m90 but also the m46 diesel gearboxes

and taxes don't care if you got a 40 year old brick :)

great build btw, i'm inspired!
 
Thanks, I'm not sure the VW diesel M90 would share the same bellhousing pattern. I was told it was different, and that transmission is difficult (impossible?) to find here, anyway. So I just went with the M47.
 
Wow, this is amazing post. Do you have dimensions from engine mounts and oil pan modifications ? Also how about electrical wiring ? Is it simple ?
