I heard from a fellow I work with that across the road where I now live (only been in this house 6 months) sits a Chevette diesel beside the house. I've seen it there but had no way of knowing whether it's a diesel or ??? I'll bet he got his facts wrong. They were rather rare around here.
For anyone who doesn't know, they had a 1.8 Isuzu in them. Finding info on this engine is not easy either. If it is a diesel, I'll be interested in it no doubt. I have 3 acres here, and it's not likely road-worthy, so it would be a good project\chop-down beast for yard work. I'm guessing if the owner does want to part with it, it'll be cheap as most people have no use for stinky, slow, noisy diesels, unless they are farm tractors.
I'll let you know what it is when I find out. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/cheers.gif" alt="" />
