engine swap in 89 rodeo

Post by 43som »

Not if this ones been approached before...but heres a go ;)

The engine in the rodeo may be on the outer. if it's a better idea going the diesel engine route, be it turbo or non turbo diesel, how hard and what things are needed to put the diesel in an already petrol car?
is it as simple as grabbing a deisel and swaping them over?
(fuel ine differances, cooling system etc)
I kinda prefer the diesel idea as it can cop water a bit more than a petrol and not leave you stranded, but a bit more tourque as well.

Just really after opinions and if it's a pipe dream, or possible reality.
