    $250 for a bare, used block? Either I'm WAY out of touch and you should snag that bargain immediately, OR, I'm not out of touch and figure you can get a complete, running A3 Golf or Jetta for that with an ABA ready to be swapped into your truck.

    That'd be nice in my neck of the woods. I'm stuck with the dregs of craigslist and ebay around here.

    I have taken a look through the diesel threads without too much luck but I hadn't tried the regional one yet, thanks for the idea.
