    I’ll have to get pictures but it evidently involves a cutting torch in some spots underneath to clear the oil pan

    Plymouth Duster Chrysler/Nissan Diesel Powered?

    I actually just purchased this car last month. I just posted some more pics in another thread, as I own an original Diesel Dart as well. I believe this one was swapped at some point but it actually came out of a museum’s collection

    They all seem to be mated to 727 torqueflites. I have two airport tugs with the same engine/trans combos. So all together, I have 4 complete sd33 Nissan diesels mated to 727 Torgueflites. Along with my spare parts engines I have

    Hey there! Been a long time since I have posted in here. Well I posted a long time ago about my 1974 Dodge Dart Custom 4 Door w/ a dealer optioned Nissan SD33 straight 6 diesel. Just picked up ANOTHER 74 Diesel. This one is a Plymouth Duster with the same SD33 Diesel. I’m very excited to clean...

    1974 Dodge Dart Diesel

    Well a little update on the diesel dart, I recently took it to a car show (it’s first official show that wasn’t a tractor show) and I was very excited to hear that I had won a trophy for my dart. There were so many other beautiful cars there and the engine bay on mine was so dirty compared to...

    I have never seen that article, that's actually really cool to see that info. How did you find this? I have newspaper ads and info from the dealer back in the day and I'd love to find more, thank you

    Thank you! And I always that it would be awesome to plop a 4bt in a dart, more power and you can still pull awesome mileage out of them. Should send me some pics once you get it all together!

    It's funny your co-worker had to deal with that, I have had that happen so many times, especially since I'm young, so people assume I'm young and dumb and putting the wrong fuel in, I actually put a big DIESEL sticker on the back window to help with that haha I still get the occasional confused...

    That's awesome. I've loved hearing about the different conversions people have done, the motors are definitely slugs but equally unique. There's a company called Wilcap owned by Tony Capanna back in the day, and it seems to me that he actually came up with the idea of putting those diesels in...

    Yeah I'd love to take it to a real car show, so far I've only taken it to our local tractor show, and it sure brought a crowd

    It's funny you mention airport tugs, because we actually have one of those as well. It's a jeep CJ10a powered by none other than the same sd33 diesel that's in my dart, and it is also hooked up to the 727 torqueflite. We use it as a farm truck, originally a 2wd we extended the bed and set it up...
