Xoo00oox,
Let's work out a deal. I would be willing to have you take care of the harness and buy an obd 1 vr6 from you. Where are you located? |

| I'm in upstate NY by the MA border, too far away to make shipping an engine worth it. You should be able to buy a AAA VR6 local to you. I can send a harness for not too much. The OBD1 I have is the coil pack type. better for you because no distributor sticking out toward the transmission. The coil pack can be located anywhere the plug wires will reach to. |

| Yeah if you have the ability to make the wiring harness a simple plug and play with the vanagon I am totally interested. Yeah I was thinking the same about shipping an engine. I am unfamiliar with the vr6 wiring so this could make my life easier. Pm me. |

Glad I found this thread! I have been offered a complete 2000 Jetta with a VR6, less some body damage on the left side. Mechanically sound, low mileage (60K). The owner wants $750 for the whole car. I was thinking along the lines everyone has mentioned, to either put it in my 87 Syncro or my 89 Westy (2WD), though leaning towards the Syncro.
If any of you would, is this a decent price? I know nothing about the VR6's. Thanks! |

Been awhile since I've been on here, and even longer since I saw my old van drive away with the new owner. Cool to come across this thread. Although I wonder where my old van is now? There were plenty of things I wanted to complete on that swap, it could have been done cleaner but I was a tight time crunch. To those who were wondering, I actually had the VR6 sitting higher than was neccesary because I was looking for as much ground clearance as possible.
Now I have a new van, and I may considering doing a VR6 again, but keep it under the stock decklid.
Thanks for the kind words. And hopefully I'll start making a habit of surfing the samba and keeping up on things. |
