[Vwdiesel] diesel conversions

[Terry Briggs]

That looks like the place to go, They have all kinds of adapters to go 
to the VW engine, though I didn't see a diesel. I'll give them a call 
and see what they can do. I can get an 88 S10 that has a good body and 
a blown engine for next to nothing from a friend. Would be neat to 
stuff my extra 1.6na in it and see how it does. Yeah it might not get 
really great fuel mileage, but I bet it would get a lot better than the 
stocker.
