That looks doable...

[wildwood]

Not only doable but in my quest for how many torques does this engine produce?.............

I found this

277bhp and 396 ft lbs of torque at the flywheel............


I am now nursing an automotive semi.......... but will it run on colour coded???...(off road only )

look on pirate4x4 for diesel conversions but be warned it could lead to expensive ideas.

the 2.5 VM diesel fitted to cherokees are great when they work but are literally wallet emptying when they fail (and they will)
