Switching from a 616 to a 617 should be the easiest possible conversion since
they're already from the same chassis. Same motor mounts, same transmission
connections, same accelerator control on the IP, same fueling location etc.
I'd want to do a TDI conversion, same power as a 617 for considera
Maybe just had one lying around?

Why anyone would bother transplanting a 617 I have no idea. Sure it is
better than the 4 banger, but the 606 is a better mechanical option and 648
is a totally modern motor. Cost of swap is huge regardless, so might as
well get some performance.

Ex-military with transplanted TD engine. I'm liking it. I wonder if
these things are still generally available in yurp and can be bought
reasonably.
