Something that you need to consider when installing a desiel engine into a gas vehicle is the fact that a desiel uses much less rpm than gas. IE a desiel runs at about 2k and a gas usually runs at 3k or higher.
I am also considering doing a hybrid pu. I have recently aquired a '94 toyota pu and I know where an '84 toyota desiel 4X4 is that I may be able to pick up for a reasonable sum.
I am considering a true inline hybrid. the motor housing would spin with the flywheel, and the shaft would spin with the input shaft to the transmission. this would completely replace the clutch/torque converter, the starter and the altenator. I have read that automatics have less weight than a standard, and that they can be shifted electroniclly.
Any info or help would be appreciated.
