Engine Swap: V8 Magnum or TDI?

[RustyAutoholicGuy]

My TJ will definitely see some off road use, so the beefier trans is easier to justify. Any idea what transfer case if need to put on the back side of that to make things work? And what other vehicles potentially have that same TC?

Their complete kit comes with an engine that's been completely gone through and a few upgrades to it, so it isn't a terrible price at $5k. But I'm sourcing a TDi myself in hopes to save some $$$. If I can I'll probably buy their engine truss, fuel pump setup, cluster module, and their trans adapter. Any chance you're looking to sell that TDi you mentioned??? Ha ha.

Once I get an operational Jeep again my next task will be figuring out how I'm going to make cruise control happen. I know there's some stuff on here, but I'm still missing a lot of those parts, plus making it work with the new engine might be tricky.

Agreed sounds great and I didn't realize their kit came with a TDI motor . . . that actually is a decent price honestly.

I would be willing to sell my TDI, but it's in my Golf, would be happy to sell the hole thing, but the head needs some work, but it comes with a brand new turbo, injectors, two different tunes, and bunch of parts. I'll cut you a hell of a deal on taking the whole thing but it might be out of your price range. There is a small possibility I might be using it for a future build but I'm not sure yet . . .

Cruise control is a must!!!! I've got to figure out how to adapt mine to my Kubota diesel, I have no idea how I'm going to do that yet!!!
