i wonder what the hell the guy who put a ford 2.3td in a rx7 was thinking. I mean, if all crappy diesel engines, the old ford ones rank pretty damn high?

the 2.3 diesel is pretty solid i thought, if its the one I'm thinking of its a peugeot engine isnt it? and arent PSA renowned forgood diesels.
anyway i love a good scrapyard exploration, might hav ea nosey at the only good one left near me.

Even if it is a good engine, it seems a bit of an odd choice to put a Ford diesel engine in a Mazda RX7, doesn't it? If you insist on losing the rotary engine, surely an at least vaguely sporty petrol piston engine would be a more logical choice, a diesel RX7 just wouldn't feel right, and the car would just reek of wasted potential every time you put your foot down surely?

that 2.3 engine (if its from a sierra diesel) is whats in my 504 truck. 70 hp, will no doubt run for 500,000 miles but not a good option for a sports car.
It could be a transit engine, they're quite lively.

i'm amazed! that RX-7 was 'converted' by my local mechanic! he bought the RX-7 with a shagged engine and for some bizarre reason decided to fit a diesel engine! he's a bit strange really! i thought the car would of been long gone! lol, !

Amused by the Dolomite, it's some kind of law that there's one in every yard I ever visit. Also a Rover P6 wherever possible.
300ZX would make a good donor, lovely V6 engine in them even if non-turbo.
