That Diesel engine sucked big time, no one whose ever owned or worked on
one of these diesel equiped BlowVo's  would praise it.  Not as bad as the
GM diesels of the mid 70's, or the Break My Wallet attempt at a diesel,
but no where near the truly best automotive diesel, da MerSAYdees.  The
boat anchor BlowVo 240 NA engine while having all the dazzle of a lawn
mower is the best engine in a BlowVo of this vintage.   Even with it's
anemic performance there is merit  in the 240 anchor, there's something
to be said for replacing a snapped timing belt in 20min on the side of
the highway when you're 1500 miles from home on a holiday weekend. BTDT
