Subject:83 Diesel help
From:John Haugland

Well I love the beast but it is loud and somewhat slow. I have a 5 speed with
a 1.9L NA diesel that is in great shape(the engine that is) and 15in rims so
it does fine on the HWY but buzzy and loud. So I am going to sell it and get a
gas or....drop a gas 1.8 I can get for cheap or a 2.0 that I will have to
save for. The question is what does it take to drop a gas engine in this van? Is
there a way to do it without having to raise the engine cover? Where do you
mount things like fule pump and the computer?

 And lastly I am in the Seattle area and would consider offers or trades.

John
