My Bluestar is getting a 1Z/AHU TDI engine with the same 50 degree install kit as came with the OP's van. It will also be a "one-wire" engine, since I'll be using a manual pump. I owned an '82 1.6L NA diesel engined van, and wouldn't recommend those for a swap. I love the engines themselves, and have owned many many VW diesels cars, but they're just not up to the challenge of pushing a big heavy brick around reliably and safely. -- Casey
