Gauging interest in a VW TDI swap kit...

Hey everyone...(obviously) I'm new here, but I'm just trying to gauge interest in parts to swap a VW TDI into a jeep. I've got a 92 XJ (hence the name) that I will be using to prototype the initial transmission adapter and motor mounts, but would like feedback from other jeepers as to what they are looking for. Obviously, it's a long list for a swap like this, so right now, I'd just like to get an idea of how many people would be interested, and for which models of Jeeps, which transmissions and the engines they would be replacing. I will also be posting on some other sites as well, so if you respond here, please don't respond to the others as well, I'd like to get an honest idea. I figure, there's nothing better than 4 wheeling, except being able to 'wheel more often because you are spending half as much money on fuel!
Thanks,
Sean

Re: Gauging interest in a VW TDI swap kit...

You can save yourself some retrofit time by finding a '79 Postal Jeep with the Audi 2.0L. I sold mine for $300 and the guy is putting a Jetta diesel in place of it. Mounts match up and the trans only needs a low stall converter for the diesel to make it work.
