I quess I was a little vaque with my original post.  The bus that I just
finished doing an engine conversion on had previously installed a 1.9L
engine which obviously isn't needed any longer.  Most parts are in good
shape but are all used.  I haven't torn the engine down so I don't know the
condition of the internals other then it ran when I removed it form the
vehicle about a month and a half ago.  So if anybody needs a part for
replacement or to get rebuilt just give me an offer.

Have:

Engine: 1.9L  90000K approximately, or atleast that is what I estimate, the
previous owner had gotten it installed and qouted me 40K at time of
install.  No obvious problems, but at this milelage probably needs to have
the heads resealed.
Cooling stuff: the engine has a relitively new water pump, I put it in
about 3000K ago, before I decided to change engines.  various plastic and
metal fittings some new that I replaced about the time of the water pump.
Electronics:  Have the computer which works fine,  Friend got the wiring
harness, but I still have the injectors if anybody needs them?
Intake and the exhaust:  airflow meter, manifolds and an intack but
slightly rusty exhaust, No CAT though the previous owner seems to have
neglected putting one on.
Bellhousing for wassers:  used the transmission for an inline conversion
but still have the bellhousing and the remains of a diesel trans, but the
the diesel trans has some bad gears, so really only good for the case.
Also have several things from a Golf GT if anybody cares: A good close
ratio gearbox, power steering pump and resivor.

Make an offer if you are interested I need to get this stuff out of hear.
Again I'm in Hampton Roads VA.  And dam I wish I had the money to bid on
that Westy with the Subaru engine up in Gloucester that someone posted about!
