[Vwdiesel] Diesel engine for a Jag

[Ron Schroeder]

Vwdiesel Digest, Vol 20, Issue 38Hi George,

Merc 300D or TD engine and tranny.  Not quite as powerfull but more usable power and dead reliable.  One of the best injection pumps for veggie.

On a side note, I saw a VW 1.9 TDi engine coupled to a Toyota pickup truck tranny installed in a 2003 Mustang last week.

<What would you folks recommend as a possible engine swap for a Jaguar sedan? 
  I have an '88 Jaguar XJ6 (normally about 175 hp) and would like to use it as a 
  daily driver with good power and a lot better mileage. I will be using veggie 
  oil as a partial replacement for dino diesel. The Jag with engine weighs about 
  3500 lb. 

  I would like an engine with at least as much power as the original 3.6 L 
  straight 6, and would like it to be common enough that parts would be 
  available and not priced out of range. 

  Thanks for any and all help. 

  Cheers 
  George
