Rick,

Congrats on getting yours. I bet you loved the sight of the flat bed baked
up and rolling her off the truck. (Like a kid on Christmas morning, I'm
sure.)  Keep us updated on how it goes!

I found one. Picking it up today in fact. It was located in another part of
the state.  I am glad I asked about pricing.  I would have paid WAY too much
for one locally.  They are even delivering to a local auto shop for free.
The guy who owns the shop goes to my church and works on a couple of my
other cars (not the Rocc so far) so, he is receiving it from them with no
charge either.  They new the place I found the motor at and assured me they
have a good rep.  Both places do business on a weekly basis, so all should
be good there.

I have already warned Al that it is on its way.  Are you ready?  (Thinking
the heat here is going to kill us.)

I just picked up a 1990 Passat with a blown automatic transmission.  The
car has 100k miles on it and otherwise looks like it is in great shape
(pics available on request).  I am hoping to put the 2.0l in the
Scirocco and part out the rest of the Passat.  The sheet metal and
interior are perfect.  It is almost worth trying to find an automatic
transmission for it.

Now I will really be bothering JT and Raffi with questions.  I think
Dave mentioned that Allyn is an expert in this conversion so I should
warn him too.

Finally, Dave keep up the search, you will find one and I hope as cheap
as this one was!

Rick Kellner.
