[Vwdiesel] Ford Ranger Diesel?

[Lee Hillsgrove]

  Some background info from Wikipedia:

The Ranger was introduced in mid-1982 for the 1983 model year. Available
engines were the 72 hp 2.0 L and 86 hp 2.3 L OHC four-cylinders, a
four-cylinder 59 hp 2.2 L Mazda/Perkins diesel, and a 115 hp 2.8 L Cologne
V6. In 1985, a Mitsubishi-built 2.3 L turbodiesel with 86 hp replaced the
Mazda diesel engine, and in 1986, the 2.8 L engine was replaced with a 140
hp 2.9 L Cologne V6.


Here's a completed eBay auction, with pics:
