Diesel Surprise!

Thanks DJ,
WOW! I'm surprised to see that there was a 3.3L 3-Cyl engine produced in a US market tractor.
I wonder what the dimensions and weight are of this engine? I'll bet it's tall, very heavy & low RPM.
It's a shame it wouldn't be practical for any little econocar project.
I was seriously tempted to put an '83 GM 4.3L diesel into an '79 El Camino this week, but I just couldn't justify the cost of doing it. The seller of the Olds couldn't verify the drivetrain was good or even send me better pics.
I think that a '93 GM 6.5L TD running BIO-D/WVO in a 95+ Camaro with 6-speed & 2.73 F/D would be fantastic!

G-Night!
