1. Provided you actually have to pass emissions testing. I don't.

2. No diesel swap that wasn't included as an original option will pass emissions specifications. The EPA doesn't allow engine swaps that weren't in original configuration, regardless of the benefits of doing so.

3. Now I have to find out what came with a 1.7 Diesel from Isuzu. :/
