I think the cost you're going to have in making the conversion happen is likely to overcome your fuel savings for quite a while,


ditto. which is why I asked that question. you're talking about taking a newer gas motor and replacing it with an older diesel. in terms of economy, if you look at the math, I'll bet it doesn't add up in this lifetime.

usually this type of swap is for the adventuresome who are willing to devote the time and money and seek enjoyment from the build process. This isn't the mod to go after trying to cut back your fuel bill. the 3.2DOHC that you have isn't bad on fuel mileage in terms of the isuzu motor family. if you're looking for a big savings, you're better off looking at trading vehicles.
