Conversion bits:
Renegade adapter
Kennedy Engineering VW conversion kit w/ Stage 4 clutch and very light flywheel (probably 2k miles on it)

Motor mount bar, trans mount adapters, ect. All the bits you need for a v8.
Conversion bits: $1000 (The 1900 renegade kit but with the high tq starter)

Trans:
Sideshift, Shifts OK, fairly certain its bad shifter bushings that cause my poor shifting. Stays in gears great, no mesh issues, syncros seem fine, No 1st gear action, no "burnouts" (Tire smoke yes, but spinning tires is much better than grippy tires... I would say I didnt overstress the trans at all it shifted the same prior to the v8)
$225


This is a drop in package. Its currently in and running in my car. The whole system has less than 5k miles on it possibly less than 3k miles. I basically started and drove it around the block every couple months and put fresh gas in it, I did one WCC in 2005 and one in 2013, then drove it 30 miles a day for a summer. That’s new clutch/pp, fresh engine rebuild, new water pump, new alternator, new starter, new carb, new wires, ect ect.

Issues:
1. Currently the Griffin radiator is leaking from the filler cap and I think the filler cap should be either fixed or plugged up and a purge valve installed there to make filling the system easy.
2. The carb needs to be tuned. I just recently installed it and haven’t put it on the dyno, but it runs pretty well, certainly enough to have some fun with, but it should be tuned a little.
3. The radiator fan is hooked up via a switch, not temperature controlled. I suggest hooking it up via a fan switch.
4. Transmission does not shift well, Its 90% likely its the linkage as the linkage is really sloppy. It could be worn internals but when it goes in gear it stays in gear. I Dont think the trans needs anything more than a freshening up. I never used 1st except loading it onto a trailer.


Package Price: SOLD

Reason for selling: Doing a modern engine/trani/wiring/interior/ecu setup from a 1.8T Audi and putting a very large turbo on it. You can see that detailed in my thread in my signature. Feel free to ask questions! Interesting parties please PM me and we can discuss this over the phone.

Thanks all!

I had one leak at first, but i got them resoldered. No issues with the copper pipe since.

However I always wanted to do a modern coolant recovery system. As long as there are no leaks (cough, radiator) the system works really well.
