Hi All
A good friend of mine writes for NZ V8 magazine and was wanting to write an article on an interesting Diesel V8 project that someone may have done.
Anyone got any suggestions?
Cheers
Ants

No, but Todd has asked him to write an article and we thought something on V8 Diesel engines would be an interesting change.

Sure isn't. They are as rare as hens teeth. Will have to wait a few years for the Toyota twin turbo V8 Diesel to be viable in a truck.

Not worth putting a toyota diesel v8 in. Much better off paying $6000 for a duramax or something which have much more power and much more reliable
