So if you guys had your choice, what car would you get an engine from? I have to give year and model of car, and then wait to get a recently written off vehicles engine and ancillaries. I thought that I read that there are 2 different turbo positions, what's the difference? I'd like to get an AC set up as well to power my on board compressor, did they all have AC? Over time I will also try and modify it for more lower end torque but I don't know if that makes a difference. Did they all use the same IP or is there one better for modifying.
I will try and get some spare parts at the same time as getting the engine to keep the cost down.
Thanks again for any info, in this thread and all the others I've been reading.

I've noticed. I didn't realize how common they were until I asked my wrecker contact about MB engines today. He seemed worried until I said the engine from an 84-85 300TD, then he just smiled and said "no problem, those are dirt cheap, let me know when you want one". I like when used parts supplies are that good. I'm guessing that I'm looking for an 83-85 300TD or SDL.
