anyone have any experience with a diesel conversion? does it have to be a diesel to begin with or can any waterboxer be fitted with a new diesel engine? heard there can be lots of grief to get conversions running rightly.....

I bought an 82 diesel westy with the intention of replacing the engine with a
new turbo diesel engine. I should end up with between 80 and 90hp and a bit
over 30 mpg. No engine electronics to worry about!
