Radiator setup: $150

Conversion bits:
Renegade adapter
Kennedy Engineering VW conversion kit w/ Stage 4 clutch and very light flywheel (probably 2k miles on it)
High Torque starter (maybe 3 starts on it, basically brand new)
Water pump and alternator with appropriate brackets, appropriate harmonic balancer, ect.
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!
Andrew

For the two of you that are interested.

Heres a semi cold vid. The squeeling is the alternator belt being a little tight. Oil pressure is good, As you can see the carb needs adjustment, and the slow starting is due to the distributor being not timed properly and that its a tight engine. Power is most definitely there. Starter is brand new high torque.

Picture of the driveway is just for oil leak reference. Thats after 7 years in one spot. Not more than a drop every couple months

Andrew, couldn't help but notice the copper fittings on you coolant lines. Just wondering if they had given you any problems in 7 years? The "peanut gallery" better known as the "I don't know but I'll comment anyway" crowd flamed me last year for the same thing.

Posted by: Andyrew Jun 17 2015, 03:04 PM

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.

if i can add some humor.. pics of engine WITH WIFE will sell that combo : )

Posted by: Andyrew Jul 14 2015, 10:34 PM

That would certainly be humorous watching me try and convince the wife to do that

Posted by: Andyrew Jul 28 2015, 10:53 PM

Bump!!

Getting closer to removing the engine!

Lets get this thing sold! $2750

Dude, idk what compression the motor is running but probably needs at least a 650dp. Probably bigger. Sweet setup, I always wanted to do one.

Posted by: Andyrew Jul 29 2015, 11:57 PM

It would certainly make more power with a larger carb, but added power wasnt necessary with this setup. The edelbrock will make 95% of the power the engine is capable of making and is super easy to tune.
