[Vwdiesel] Diesel engine swaps

[Ron Schroeder]

Hi William,

I drove a diesel Mustang about a year ago.  It was fantastic. ~ 2000 yellow
Mustang convertable with a VW TDI from a wrecked beetle brought up to euro
specs and chiped.  It was mated to a mid '80s Toyota pickup tranny.  Handled
better than stock and was really strong on acceleration.

He milled out the VW symbol on the engine cover and replaced it with a Ford
oval from a pickup truck grill.  Looking under the hood it looked totaly
factory, just like as if Ford had made it.

<snip> I am probably one of the few that would be interested in a Mustang
converted to a diesel. If you do such a conversion, try to keep it looking
as stock as possible outside the engine compartment.
