I'm not going to go looking for trouble... ;) but this TDI idea for an XJ might be pretty workable... wonder if it would work in my J10... probably not... 4,100lbs of full size jeep probably wouldn't be very motivated by 90hp out of a 1.9L... :) Diesel dreams live on... :) considering the cost of a gas engine, or the hassles of rebuilding a gas engine, this might be a viable solution should the wj find it's way into my shop... :) john ----- - ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Snohomish, Washington -o|||||o- where Jeeps don't rust, they mold http://wagoneers.com/fotos/fotomeister/ SAVE power, use LINUX: http://johnmeister.com/tmcp.pdf SAVE yourself: http://freegift.com SAVE fuel, use synthetics: http://AMSOIL.com/redirect.cgi?zo=283461 - ------------------------------------------------------------------------ - ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: john fyi...
