Hola OutfitBoss,

Thanks for the personal experience story. Good to hear.

As far as swapping a gasser engine in a Pup to a diesel---hoo boy. That topic comes up a lot here on the forum. Do a search for 'diesel' and 'swap' (maybe toss in 'gas' too) and you'll see lots of discussion on it. In a pup, the biggest things (if I'm remembering the posts correctly) that hinder a gas to diesel swap are 1)The tranny doesn't work--diesel starters are on the other side, so the bell housing doesn't work, and you can't swap bellhousings from gas to diesel tranny (feel free to chime in here with corrections other members <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" /> ) And 2) depending on the year of the pup and the year of the engine, the mounts don't always line up. After that, it's the usual, fuel return lines, electrical, etc etc.

The jeep is a bit different since I took the diesel tranny with me, made custom drivelines and custom motor/tranny mounts. But there are other members here doing isuzu-to-isuzu swaps that have posted more relevant info.

Glad to see you here,
