I have heard about kits that allow VW diesels to be installed in Suzuki
Samurais. What I am interested in doing is putting this engine in a
Nissan or Toyota pickup. Does anyone have any ideas about how I would
make the flywheel/clutch part work?

I just wanted to help you out here after reading your response to Curtis's
(Csakima) email. What I believe he was trying to say is simply this. SUV's
do not have to be the gas guzzlers that most of them are to day. That they
could be engineered to be much more fuel efficient than what they are
Dear Jean-Leon,
Personally I am passionate about energy saving, but I do not
think that the real and big problem with SUV is the consumption
of fuel. This assuming that it is a special vehicle and used for
activities that it is designed for and you are obviously doing that.
It is a

If you have access to a welder or weldor, the easiest way will be to have
them weld on a 3/4 bung, which is a small round piece of steel that is
threaded, kind of like a fat washer with threads in the middle...

did.
This is not so. The 5.7 liter Olds diesel was a new engine from the

the
internal parts are interchangeable.
Where did you get this information? Not doubting what you are saying,

Actually the Pontiac Fiero, with it's deathtrap fire hazard status, is one
of the only vehicles on this list that should be banned for endangering the

Yes, that big diesel powerstoke to run WVO- biodiesel.. Got to help the
economy and keep some dollars in the states.
Or ,what you could do is NOT buy a diesel powerstroke. Boycott american
cars, buy a Volkswagen TDI and make people aware of the beauty of small
diesels. Then, maybe, one day,
too bad vw doesn't make anything I can put 1000 lbs of cargo in. I'll buy
the Ford thanks.
Hmm. A trailer, maybe? I've pulled 2000 lbs of gravel with a Golf. It was a

Also check your diff ratios too, the original ratios may be too low for
