Yessiree bob. I was thinking of a benz om617 5cyl, but that swap is pretty convoluted. I have a VW 1.9 TD that will slot right in with a $500 adapter plate, just have to fab engine mounts, cooling & exhaust.
Have to get it rolling first. It moved under its own power again this weekend. Got brake lines & cables in last night. It ain't pretty, but it's stout.

loves it, mostly because it's such a huge step up from my $400 Suzuki Samurai. Maybe it won't be too hard to get her in it.
