DIESEL ENGINE IN VW BEETLE AND MICRO?

Hi guys,
Overtime i have seen a number of VW micros and a couple of beetles converted to diesel engines. Theoratically its easy as vw engine is simply mounted on gearbox with 4 bolts and hasnt got any mounts of its own. But practically its another story as it requires very precisely machined adapter plate and fly wheel. Anybody knowing how they do it in pakistan? If anybody having experiance of any such mod pls tell us abt its performance and reliability.

Other than the Fly Wheel and all...... you also need a Radiator...Anyway....I have seen a corolla 95 XE engine in a VW beetle. It works like a charm but it lost in race to my Original 1600cc VW Beetle ...other than that i have seen many VW Micros Buses with toyota 2C diesel engines in them, that is a perfect fit and works great. There is this guy I know who has fitted a toyota 2C diesel engine in a 1977 Micro and he has been all over Pakistan in it. He even fitted a AC in it...In Short ...IT WORKS...
