OK, I know all about the "Diesel In A Tracker" conversion, and a couple others out there, but let's start venturing into the realm of the truly bizarre! (well, maybe not that bad, after all, I'm the guy who suggested the diesel K-car!) Any one ever done, heard of, or even thought of: VW diesel into one of the older Kia Sportages? They're about the same size as a Tracker, and you can get one with 2 wheel drive. Then, this is one of those thing you can tell people you did it just to say you did it - How about a VW diesel into an early to mid 80's Ford mid-size, like a Fairmont? Weight wise, they're pretty light, and parts are pretty easy to get.
What sort of conversions have you guys been doing or toying with?
Kinda leaning towards something a little on the old side, as here in NY, anything over 25 years old is emmissions exempt. Somehow I think DMV would really bust my chops if I tried to dieselize anything new, as NY is probably one of the most non-friendly diesel states around!
I just purchased an 87 toyota 4runner for my swap.Should be lots of fun and challenges,but the end result will be fantastic.
Im not the first one to do this though so im not alone
I think it would be sweet to build a 32 ford rat-rod, with either 1.9 TDI. or IDI in it (built to the hilt of course)
i saw a rat rod with a 4bt
