Easy, I was running a 6-v71 detroit today in the loader pushing yet more
snow.   They know I'm using it over four miles away, but I imagine the VW
would sound more like a 4-53 (cockshutt, oliver 1950 tractor).

 Aye, that would be me!

 Could you imagine what that would sound like?

into the bore and braze an insert in to seal off the water jacket (hard part
is figuring the correct porting.  Add a supercharger and a manifold and you
have the intake.  Rework a cam so that intake and exhaust valves are both
running on "identical" exhuats lobes so it has twice the exhaust valve area.
Different cam belt and a crank gear that's twice the size and tada!  A two
stroke VW diesel!  :-D
