Re: [AMC-list] 75 J-10 central Coast

[Jim Blair <carnuck@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Dana 60 (and Dana 53)was also used in the J20 (J4000) pickups in the rear. M715s ran D60 closed knuckle front and D70 rear.

On the Audi 2.0L (also found in the last couple years of Gremlins) there is also the possible option of a Jetta diesel 1.9L used in the late '80s (sadly non-turbo) I just turned one down from a friend of mine for $1200 so she is fixing it up instead (new struts, carpet etc) and selling it for $2500.
   Wonder if they only used the SR4 in the 2.0L Gremlins?

yup.  jeep only used the amc20 '76-'86; dana otherwise until the
ex-amc15 d35 in the late '80s and mopar 8.25" mid '90s.  still many
d30s and d44s.

i was thinking more about what jim blair said about the audi-4 tf904
[as found in some djs] fitting vw engines as well and saying how a
little diesel would be nice...  i discount the prechamber gen [1.6 et
al] as too underpowered, but the '95-'03 1.9 tdi still has a bosch ve
injection pump, pre-common-rail, and 90hp with 150 ft-lbs, rpms
unknown.  that sounds pretty good for a light little dj...  it still
has a cam-drive belt, so there's a '98-'03 audi tdi v6 if you prefer,
all gear drive if i understand right, and also with a ve pump.  2.5L,
150hp, torque unk but must be in the 230 area.  that'd do for a spirit
or concord...
 
in principle, with the old-style injection system they could be
de-electronicized, but in practice you'd probably better be a diesel
mech with healthy bosch experience.
 
also a challenge would be appropriate flexplates and torque
converters.
