Why would anyone go to the expense of trying to put one of those engines back in a car? I've seen many of those diesels get swapped to gassers and still see them on the road. It was way cheaper to drop a small block Chevy than rebuilding the diesels plus as it was mentioned earlier people were wary of the dependabilty of those diesels. I remember wanting to pick up a nice Cutlass with a blown diesel for cheap back in the 80's and dropping a 454 Chevy big block in one. The idea faded because I didn't have enough money or persistence to follow through.
