further to my oil seal problem previosly, I have been reading with interest other previous articles, in particular the one regarding the possible montego turbo engine transplant.
this mentions a sherpa (what about a frieght rover) gearbox fitting a TC bellhousing, therefore I wonder would a sherpa diesel engine fit the P6?
Obviously there would be some fabrication (engine mounts, linkages, higher poundage front springs etc), but if all the main components bolt together and physically fit the space available in the engine bay, that is half the battle.
just think diesel economy(especially on cooking oil) and reliability,P6 ride and looks, free road tax.
Ok it will be slow(turbo diesel may be not) but you could have a V8 in the garage for the weekend!
