Hi guys,
I have an old VW Rabbit Pickup truck with a little Diesel motor. I have been experimenting with an aux. tank of WVO (Waste Vegetable oil) and it seems to work pretty well.

I'd like to try to put a diesel engine and drivetrain into a stovebolt. I'm thinking a 1940's or early 50's. I just need to find a decent one without an engine. Has anyone seen this done or attempted it?

Would I have to reinforce the frame?

Also, does anyone have any suggestions as to what type of motor I should put into the stovebolt (Ford/Chevy/Dodge)? Any help/guidance would be GREATLY appreciated. Thanks guys!

Joe
