But the Camaro with the V6 was rated for 30 MPG and the VW's are all in the 40 MPG range, so approx. 10 MPG improvement is not out of the question.
Plus I love diesels.
So if (when) I find someone who can get into the ECM, I will try the TDI motor in something classic.
One thing that I think would be an AWESOME swap for a TDI would be a 34 ford coupe....or a model A. Something very small that is lightweight where the diesel could really shine.
