Jetta diesel engine into 1/4 or 1/2 ton ??
Sunday, July 29, 2007 12:53 PM
i was just thinking and got the crazy idea of getting a totaled jetta with the diesel and put the engine in a little truck or something. First thing is all Jetta's are FWD?? and FWD to RWD is extremely hard to convert id think....and expensive.....

Are there any RWD vehicle's with the little diesel engines in them? How hard is it to swap engines gas to diesel ? Not worth it?

Just a crazy idea that i had that will most likely be nothing more than another one of my crazy ideas.

No flaming please

hmmm.... didnt even know those existed....but what i was thinking more was along the lines of picking up a little diesel and a little truck ( diesel totaled vehicle....truck with blown engine) then do the swap and have a little truck with crazy fuel economy.

the more i think about it though the more i think its stupid to put in a little truck, might as well just keep it in a little car.
