[Vwdiesel] OT: Jeep VW Conversion

[James Hansen]

A local guy did a 4 cyl mod 123 benz to a rover, almost finished it 
before succumbing to cancer, then I lost track of it.

you can build an adapter to put any engine to any transmission, just 
time and some skull sweat.

Personally, I would choose an Isuzu 6 cylinder.

they were used on a 36 foot CCIL swather, around 1990 to 1994.  A little 
over a hundred non-turbo horses.  They ran on the smell of an oily rag, 
and were very conservatively rated.

The 4 cylinder was more common, made 80hp.  I have one in a 1996 
swather.  It's great, all cast iron, VERY robust compared to a VW.
