I think there's a F-15 pilot out there looking for answers :)

Nah it will fit. You just need to re-adjust the APU and fuel lines over to the left of the passanger seat. Then it should just slide in. Email me if you need any more help. Oops i forgot. Your gonna have to shave down the rear brace a little..(BE CAREFUL)..dont do it too much!!!! Oh yeah, your gonna need a hoist and a 1/2inch crows foot... Use the pic below for illustration.

I know, TWO of those things and they still complain! I'll try to dig up a video of one running @ test cell where we run 'em uninstalled, if anyone's interested. Won't be until next week though.

No APU to worry about. Thanks for the rear brace tip though! On a serious note, the engine in that VW was the first engine I worked on @ Edwards AFB in SoCal, my first base. J85-21 for the F5/T38/T37. Ahhhh....memories...lol.

i got paypal! 500,000 shipped?

Funny story, three guys were busted a few years ago trying to sell one, I forgot what base, I *think* it was a national guard base. Talk about brass ones :icon9: How the hell would you market that anyway? "Um...anybody need a 22000 hp engine that uses 2 1/2 gallons of fuel a second in full burner?"
Oh, and you'd be 3 mil short, at the going rate anyway. Titanium (well, alot of it anyway, mostly titanium alloy for the fuel/oil lines) goodness isn't cheap!
