 :ban:  ;)

Saw that one on JF when the YJ of the month was going. I came in 2nd to it.
I didn't like the stack coming out of the hood, but other than that it seemed pretty nice!

sweet, i do mind the clouds of black smoke though but it can be tuned more conservatively i suppose (he didn't go easy on fuel flow that's for sure).

That's a dumb place to put teh exhaust.  You can see if he had any of the windows open he's be inhaling it.  Top down must really suck.

As for the swap, I'd love to be able to do one but they aren't in any way legal even though they do get good gas mileage and you can clean them up with bio. or waste oil.

Actually, some federal laws have been broken with that install but unless the state actually checks or a State Police requests it, no one would know.

Not all engines were DOT legal even if some were.  Most were for stationary equipment.  That means unless he's got a actual VIN then it's not DOT Legal.  Also, the weight class doesn't match.  You can't swap medium and heavy truck engines into a light truck or car.  This is why the H1 and I think H3 were classed as a Medium-Truck and was exempt for EPA Gas Mileage averages.  This is all Federal Law not state.

Depends on how the law is written. In Ca the replacement motor must be equal to or newer than the one being taken out. Among many others. Each state is different. Do your homework before you swap.
For the most part Ca. does not like the diesel motors. The Liberty 2.8 was not avail. here. That would be a nice motor too.

America for the most part is a gasoline minded country. Travel overseas and you find that everyone else is all about diesel and for good reason too. its more efficient, doesnt need to be refined as much as gasoline and today's diesels are not the black smoke spewing diesels of yesterday. but i guess we out to support the oil companies and continue to support gasoline.

definitely the efficiency is a huge plus but you're supporting oil companies with diesel also, biodiesel is nowhere near to cover the demand so that's not there yet (and i'm not sure how environmentally friendly it is either - not saying that it is not just dunno what byproducts result from the manufacturing process).

Here in PA diesels are exempt from emissions testing (last I heard).  Of course you might run into some issues because a diesel was not a factory option.
