The ones you're thinking of had a Nissan diesel (comparo test here). Before those, there were these with Perkins diesel engines.I know there were some diesel D100s made. I THOUGHT they were Perkins, maybe they were Nissan
B for a 198, C for a 225, etc; whatever any given car was built with. These cars were aftermarket conversions, so no special VIN code for the engine.I wonder what the engine code in the VIN is.
Who wouldn't want a Cummins in their PHORD truck!!!!!????Yesterday I watched Indy Mecum sell a '79 Ford crew cab sitting on a Ram chassis with a Cummins. Two iodiots ran the price to $200,000!
Buddy of mine had a BMW Diesel powered motorhome.... Sold his 440 powered motorhome & bought what he referred to as "Bimmerwagon"In my Motorola years I got "transferred" to some friends driving some sort of small motorhome with a ?Peugot? something little turboed diesel. CHRIST!!!! Sit there and wind it and wind it and shift after about 5 minutes of winding. I never saw anything so absolutely gutless in my life.
Guy who lived in our town used to have a 4WD Jeep Commando with a little Perkins. It was no powerhouse, either, even in that relatively light Jeep
Rusty I've been told that the earlier Dodge pickups (pre Cummins) were absolute slugs.
Diesel powered 1974 Plymouth Duster??
