For those of you who don't know, I've been working on a diesel swap into my pickup for a solid 6-8 months now. Engine came out of an '86 Ranger with a Mitsubishi turbo diesel. It went pretty slowly due to work/school schedules, just a few hours each weekend to work on it. I had to pick up the pace a bit when my DD Corolla spun a bearing a couple of weeks ago. Here's the result. Runs and drives great, pretty slow but has a good amount of torque and cruises at 65-70 pretty well.

Hood scoop I had to add to clear high mounted AC compressor and alternator. Got a little dirty today but the 215/75 radials don't have enough grip to even sling mud well. Time for 31's.

Drivers side, need to do a little tidying up on my wiring.

There's a lot more pictures and details from myself and another member over on the diesel forum if anyone is interested.
