Re: [AMC-list] hydrogen-powered Gremlin for sale...

[Jim Blair <carnuck@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Lots of Postal Jeeps made in '79 had them too. DJ5-G came with 904 auto and Audi 2.0L and from what I learned you want the Jetta diesel or the Audi 5 cyl diesel and not the Rabbit diesel to bolt up.
   There have been several Toyota diesels for sale here lately (bodies falling apart from rust, but the 2LT powers on) but all have been standard trans. There is a guy in Florida who posts on Evilbay foreign diesels he brings in.

[following up to myself]
vw has an excellent mid-late '90s 1.9tdi that would imho be a better
diesel repower than an isuzu.  bonus: if you have a rare audi-powered
amc, it has the same tranny bolt pattern.
