It is very doable. You have to change the motor mounts for sure, thats not hard.I have sold a number of tdis to the US. I bring them over to Canada. I am pretty sure you might have to change the transmisson.As far as the automatic goes the 300tdi is not bad for power.Also you have to change the fuel pick-up in the fuel tank.You just exchange it for a diesel one.(one with no pump)I have a 300tdi with rad and cooler, and some other bits.My price is $4000 canadian plus shipping about $400.I don,t have a suitable trans. at present.
I am going over again in the new year for some more parts if you are interested.
