diesel v8?

[pipgrif]

anyone know of a good diesel v8 for a surf

[rokhound]

Think you will find that most of them have a fairly serious weight disadvantage for a surf. Having said that, it can be got around, it just takes a lot more work

How about one of these...

dont know the specks but have a look at the 4.5ltr diesel in the 70series cruisers wouldnt be much weights differance than the 4ltr1UZ and power out put is similar

How much would a Toyota Diesel V8 set you back though... Driven a few before in the 70 series and they are beautiful engines but I think you could buy a Surf and several 1UZ's (in case you blow one up) for less than the price you could obtain a diesel V8, it'll be nice in a few years time when they are more available.

Also one of the biggest turds ever built, you would get more power out of a 1KZ
