[Amc-list] XJ diesel (was Re: Pearly Whites)

["Jim Blair" <carnuck@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

A: If you change out the alternator to something more common than Paris 
Rhone, add an injector pump that will last and figure a way to keep the 
starter functioning and head gasket from blowing, I guess the Renault turbo 
diesel would be okay.
   I'd do the Toyota diesel swap in one if I could stand the smell of oil 
burners (even SVO smells nasty to me). There's a place in Chilliwack, BC 
(Canada) that sells takeouts of various overseas small diesels. The 2LT 
would be simple and perfect for an XJ or MJ power wise. I drove a couple 
Hiluxes with that drivetrain (albeit 5 speed and not AW4 auto) doing 
deliveries. My other option would be the Nissan Maxima diesel with auto 
(related to the one used in CJ10s) due to their proven longevity.
   I keep wondering about the Toyota Corolla FWD diesels I see for sale 
around here. (Saw 2 for $500 that needed parts from one to fix the other) 
Didn't know if a bellhousing was available to run them RWD though.

Indeed.  All the same, I'd like to find a diesel Wagoneer or
Cherokee so I can start running SVO or biodiesel.
