Re: how come... deseal

perception. People still think diesels are slow, smokey, and polluting.

I'm planning a couple diesel swaps; one in a 66 Pontiac and another in a 65 Scout. They don't make good swaps in smaller lighter cars typically because most diesels that are readily available are heavy. You wouldn't want to replace the 400-lb small block in your Camaro in favor of a 1000-lb Duramax.

The VW TDI makes a good swap in smaller cars. The VW V10 diesel from the Touareg is very nice but expensive.
