There's several mfg's that produce a 4cyl diesel in a small pick-up and have for years, 70's and 80's were popular. Most were aluminum head diesels so the first time they got over heated, it ruined a head. I ran a VW 48hp diesel for chasing geese when I was hunting. It always got 52mpg and had no problem running 60mph while getting 52mpg. I put on over 300k on that 2400lb car. The engine was rated at 5000rpm.

He said the engine had out lasted 3 pick-up body's. He had to have a adapter plate made as he also installed a truck 5spd for a OD gear. When he swaped truck body's, he would move the cross members, engine, tranny and fuel tank. T_Bone
