A slightly different soultion, although still an indirect diesel.....
A fellow over on Oilburners.net under the Ford 6.9/7.3 IDI section has installed that Ford/International diesel in his Bronce, and his son's F150. Traveling to the IDI Rally last year, the F150 got OVER 30 mpg! Rather good for a full size Pick Up. The Bronce also gets good milesage, but he runs that on a mixture of (free) WMO, diesel and mayne even some RUG.

Pics coming soon

Or maybe something with a little diesel twist on it? Or maybe both? And I promise. Pics are coming soon. I forgot to take some yesterday so, I'm going at lunch time to take a few. I hope they find the keys. I might want to actually drive it over to my storage bay to load all the stuff in it.

I'm hoping I can get 30mpg in a Dodge Dakota. Do you think that's possible if I keep my foot out of it?

I was going to second DeliveryValve's comments about the death of 123s and 126s... bread trucks are ugly and the motor is better suted to a truck!

Took some pics of my Step Van today at lunch. I didn't buy the stuff in the back. They are going to clean it out next week.

From the photos shown it looks like a radiator hose is off ,did the seller describe its running condition? The block alone is worth a grand ,the 4bta is a work horse with long service, up in the 400k at times.The jeep cherokee comes to mind for its transplant.Mileage plus comfort with a healthy size suspention for bumps in the road.Is it a stick or auto trannie?

This is my recipe for a diesel $hitkicker
-take one 1990 toyota 4runner with a leaky, worn out 22re -take one 1986 toyota 4x4 pickup with a 2l diesel engine -remove engines, cooling systems, exhaust & bellhousings -put 22re in the back of the pickup, have towed away PRONTO before Mrs Notfarnow gets pissy (save aluminum wheels though) -put 2l & bellhousing in the 4runner -frig with wiring for a few hours -drive out - Measure once, cut twice, apply bondo liberally to make into a 4dr, short bed pickup

After they clean it out, I'll tow it to my friends shop. I'm glad I got rid of the other stuff. He's onboard with me stripping the other Mercedes and storing parts in the Step Van at his shop. And after I get out of my storage unit, my wife will be very happy. First thing to do is steam clean everything. Note to self --- be careful of the missing power steering pump (shaft driven = hole into back of front of engine).
