Another Diesel

Post by Dappermuis »

Good day

I am very interested in going the Diesel route on my Bay, but have a few questions

1. Where about do you go with the radiator? I do not like it behind the spare wheel at the front , or just in front as mine was when it had the previous engine in..

2 Will I be able to fit the 3000D Toyota engine that I have at my disposal.

3 Can I run it on my Standard gearbox, if I am able to find an adaptor plate?

Any help comment will be appreciated, I know, I would like to keep it original, but the previous owner already made a HUGE radiator housing at the front so all is already lost. I can just as way go the practical route now
