So I was just wondering....
It wan't happen any time soon, I just rebuilt my 235 and I'm waiting for the Vermont Snow to melt before I put it back in my 59 fleetside.
But just for laughs...and because I'm curious...
Is there such a thing as a diesel engine out there that would go in and let me use the same transmission? I love the 3 speed, and I don't want to change that. Also, I'm admittedly and amature mechenic, and I would have to pay somebody to do any kind of fabrication and welding and such.
Is there an engine that would drop in pretty easily?
I want to know because some friends of mine work for greasecar (www.greasecar.com...cool site),
and I'd love to drive my truck without the hit in the wallet every time I fill it up.
But I'm also kind of just fantasizing.
Anybody out there know?
