Hello everyone-- I have a 1966 Ford Econoline PU- pretty rare vehicle and I want to install a Diesel for daily use-- the question that I have is "which of the Mercedes diesels would be the best(easy) to swap into the PU? I wish to use a automatic transmission
I am aware the mounts and etc will have to be fab'd, but I am up to that.
Any help will be greatly appreciated
thanks again
Nohair
