1980 Benz turbo diesel for $800... rated 125 hp and 180 tq; first turbo sedan in America (according to wikipedia) needs glow plugs. $800... sounds good to me! It's been for sale for a while so maybe $600?
http://cosprings.craigslist.org/cto/2171384919.htmlI have read another build (first gen w/Benz diesel) and it seems pretty feasable... also the junkyard didn't have any 3.4 or 2.7 engines. There is an 86 Runner there that I'd like to snag the brake booster and top-shift from; rear third is already gone. 5-speed trans and 99% of interior is still there though if anyone wants something. Front seats are junked... ripped/faded/crappy.
