If you can find me a diesel engine that will "bolt right in", I will bow before your Ecomodding Powers!

I have a Mercedes 2.4L 4 cylinder diesel engine sitting in my garage right now. It is almost the exact same size as an S10 2.2L gas engine.

Of course it is NOT going to match the engine mounts or the transmission. Making all that work is going to be the fun part. (I also have no idea how to make the speedometer work right!)
