Would a VW TDI drop in? Possibly. 200 1984

If you do attempt this, Vw has a great habit of making its engines somewhat interchangeable, as far as application in a lot of its vehicles. If you were to have problems mounting a TDI for a rear-driver, look for motor mounts and cheap ideas from either a Fox or a Quantum. The engines in both of these are long-ways, even though they're front-drivers. I've done a conversion with a Fox from its standard 4 cylinder/4spd to a VW 16 valve/5spd, and maybe the similarities in the mounting of the blocks to the vehicle may carry over to the diesel and help you too. Furthermore, an old Quantum Syncro (all wheel drive) or Audi 5000 might help with ideas for a rear-drive application.
