Awesome. That engine in a 70's Dart or 90's Dakota with a ax15 trans and I got torque and fuel mileage.

Yeah, I'd be looking for a 50mpg VW donor car and do your swap if diesel really is a must.
Otherwise, just chuck a turbo on whatever POS engine you have in there now and spend the 6 grand you just saved on fuel. Less work involved too.

I just don't know how many times I've said it, maybe it wasn't loud enough. I LIKE DIESELS! Not playing with gasoline engines anymore. In fact I'm seriously looking at converting the race car or selling it and just playing with my 12 valve 1st gen.

I wonder what exhaust emissions level the Repower Crate 2.8 I6 diesel is tuned for?
Perhaps if it is for old Jeep repowers or for off road use, it might be pre-1994 Tier 1 level where fuel economy was not hobbled by NOx from the cummins repower website: The Cummins R2.8 Turbo Diesel (PN 5467036) has demonstrated through the testing procedures prescribed in 40 CFR Part 86 to meet EPA’s Tier 0 (LDT 1 and 2) and Tier 1 emissions standards (LDT 2 weighing less than 4000 lb complete weight). This means that the R2.8 generally is suitable for Model Year 1999 or earlier light duty trucks.

I wonder if a chip maker like Bullydog or similar could make that 267 ft-lbs of max torque climb to +300 ? Oh I'm sure they can. Personally I would stab this engine into a '92-'99 Dakota.
