Interesting Diesel...

http://sacramento.craigslist.org/car/90296731.html

It says it's a one owner vehicle, but the license plates are the "new style". Calif has gone through 2-3 different types of plates since that car was new...

I might consider something like this if it wasn't so expensive ... if the 40 mpg is true that is!

It looks to me like it has SIX injection lines going into the engine....I'd wonder if it really does get 40+ mpg, I guess it depends on the engine itself and how heavy the car is... What kind of engine is it?

I believe that is the 2.8L I-6 that Nissan/Datsun used for a short time.

I never knew they put a Diesel engine in a Dodge. If I did, I would have bought one.

I did see a Dodge pickup with a Nissan Diesel engine in it. It was for sale but rusted so badly, it was beyond saving. I think the seller junked it.

That is awesome! I would love to have that, but of course there is no way to afford that. A two door diesel Dart. How wild is that!
Does anyone know much about these?

IIRC correctly in the early 70's Dodge had the option of a Mitsubishi 6DR5 diesel Motor. I ahve seen several and a searrch confirms this. My freind put a M- 6DR5 in his Fj55 Landcruiser and added a Ray-Jay turbo ...cool and economical. He got 20+ mpg.
