HOrnbrod Posted April 28, 2013 Share Posted April 28, 2013 I don't know, but there's a big squirrel in your truck looking out the back window. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geonovast Posted April 28, 2013 Share Posted April 28, 2013 You bought a motor without knowing what it was out of? I hope you got a good deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mzairboy Posted April 28, 2013 Share Posted April 28, 2013 I wanted to do a diesel swap, but was told it is not a good idea to mount a diesel in a unibody vehicle. Guess I need a comanche first anyways... I will keep an eye on this thread, looks like an interesting build. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

terrawombat Posted April 28, 2013 Author Share Posted April 28, 2013 I don't know, but there's a big squirrel in your truck looking out the back window. That's my guard squirrel. I had to go to a rough part of town to get this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sir Sam Posted April 28, 2013 Share Posted April 28, 2013 looks kinda nissan to me, can I see more pics? Bellhousing bolt pattern? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gogmorgo Posted April 28, 2013 Share Posted April 28, 2013 Yeah, I'm also on board with the Perkins, out of a Mazda B2200. If that's not it, I'd bet a handful of air that it's Japanese. All the Jap trucks had diesel options. I suppose it could also be a BMW or something French, to cover the whole spectrum. All I know is it's not a VW since to my knowledge they never had a rear-drive, front-engined diesel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

terrawombat Posted April 28, 2013 Author Share Posted April 28, 2013 2.2L Perkins Close, but no cigar. Perkins and the manufacturer of this engine did have a business relationship at one point. looks kinda nissan to me, can I see more pics? Bellhousing bolt pattern? Not a Nissan. Yeah, I'm also on board with the Perkins, out of a Mazda B2200. If that's not it, I'd bet a handful of air that it's Japanese. All the Jap trucks had diesel options. I suppose it could also be a BMW or something French, to cover the whole spectrum. All I know is it's not a VW since to my knowledge they never had a rear-drive, front-engined diesel. Getting closer, but not a Perkins. This engine, in its current form, was never offered in any cars/trucks in North America. eewww diesel with automatic trans. no fun. That's a modern turbo, too. I'm thinking newer than 95 Nah, it's a manual. Doesn't have the shifter on top of the trans - it's a cables/linkage shift setup. Turbo is a variable geometry turbo and it is newer than 1995. Common-rail, direct injection: Image Not Found Bellhousing: Image Not Found Shift linkage: Image Not Found Another shot of the turbo: Image Not Found Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

terrawombat Posted April 28, 2013 Author Share Posted April 28, 2013 No, but I believe this engine is used in a couple of Kia vehicles in Europe and Japan...maybe Australia, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JeepcoMJ Posted April 28, 2013 Share Posted April 28, 2013 I assume it's a Mitsubishi. 2.5-3.0, something like that. though, kind of strange it almost looks like it's got a gm 60 degree bell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
