Unfortunately, I don't have a ranger to drop it in. If I did, I'd be all over it.

That's the end goal I have, finding a mid-size truck (preferably a Dakota) and dropping a decent diesel engine in it, using it for a hauler to supplement (or become) my cash flow. Ideally, it'd be a 97+ Extended cab Dakota with a Cummins 4BT... it'll likely be my minivan converted to RWD using the 240D's OM616 I have laying in the barn. Dern it all.

I hope your trip is safe, and maybe we can help more once you get home! Well Travels!
