Neat, I sent the link to my older son who is restoring an old Landrover. Too much money and work but its nice to dream. Like what would I do if I had that winning lotto ticket......

Buy that engine and put it into a VW van?

If he decides to do it(IE spend a lot of money on it) then he should contact me, I'm swapping basically the same engine into my MJ.

Craigslist. But you shouldn't count on that again for this engine as it was export only.

Be glad you have not driven one it makes it all the more bitter.

The manual trans version is not rated to the same torque as the automatic for component protection...sure the manual is a lot more fun but I'd rather have the get up and go, plus flexibility to uprate the engine in the future.

That engine for sale is the wastegated turbo running the EDC15 ECU, by no means a rocket ship in performance.
