electryc_monk Posted November 11, 2023 Share Posted November 11, 2023 Talked about doing this back in the mid-late 90’s. 86-92 GL or GL-10 (brat in storage)/wagon or XT/6 plus VW TDI 1.9 ALH power plant (have in storage) plus PK Davis liftkit ….

idosubaru Posted November 12, 2023 Share Posted November 12, 2023 GL hatch or XT6 all the way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
el_freddo Posted November 12, 2023 Share Posted November 12, 2023 Ok, that’s jibberish to me. I’m guessing you’re wanting to drop some VW diesel in an L series GL or GL-10 or XT6/Vortex. What gearbox would you use? Cheers Bennie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1 Lucky Texan Posted November 12, 2023 Share Posted November 12, 2023 (edited) that diesel is short enough? there were some Subaru diesel crate engines available at one time, or source a used one from overseas? back in the 70s, folks were putting Kubota diesels in some small cars....... or maybe a Mazda wankel ?

moosens Posted November 12, 2023 Share Posted November 12, 2023 (edited) Nice to see older members active here. Enjoy your project! Pardon my ignorance but please tell me if there’s a real advantage or if you’re just having fun with bits laying around you’d wanted to play with ? Ok I edited , I’m guessing low torque for the off-roading which is where PK comes in. Rock that muthuh!
