Doing homework because I don't like paying for gasoline and I could use a little more power than my stock 120 HP/150Ft/Lb torque...

I have a pickup truck that could have been powered by a 4G63 Gasoline engine.

My truck (1989 Mazda B2600i 4x4) in earlier years (1987-88) contained a 2.6L version of the 4G63 Mitsubishi engine. Same drivetrain, different bellhousing. (In fact the Starion guys use that truck's bellhousing with RX-7 Turbo transmissions in their cars.

Being that I can get one of these bellhousings and attach it to my transmission, I can easily convert my truck to use the 4G63 engine block pattern.

Will the 4D56 engine bolt up to a 4G63 bell housing? How about a 4M40/4M41? I've read here about swaps being almost plug-n-play, but it wasn't listed whether a different bell housing was used.



Secondly, would there be any issue running any of these engines on something other than Low Sulphur Diesel? I know common rail Diesel engines have problems on anything but low sulphur... Which we don't have here in the States. As alluded to at the beginning, I'm looking into Biodiesel and/or Waste Vegetable Oil.
