Default Diesel Engine swap?
Has anyone ever heard of a diesel engine swap into a mustang or any other car for that matter? I am talking about a Powerstroke or soemthign, not the semi ones. Wouldnt it be sweet to see and hear that thing roaring downt eh block? a lot of potential are int hose engines.

that would be sweet though, 6.0 powerstroke with gale banks stuff on it, 1100 ft/lbs! way too much $$$$$$$$$$$4 and verryyyyyyyyy heavy

Anything is possible but you can go faster for less $$$ with a regular engine.
