Just spotted this for sale on a Irish site... 1.6 litre opel diesel conversion, very unusual. Should probably be in ebay section or soemthing but i think people should really see it as it's not somethin you see every day, and alsdo i've bene on a bit of a diesel binge of late. cars.donedeal.ie/for-sale/vintagecars/1438088 |

interesting he went with the 1.6 GM NA(?) opel lump, especially when Isuzu Turbo lumps arent hard to come by! still cool though  |

With the ldv sherpa bellhousing a peugot 1.9 diesel should hook up to the original box, possibly without any significant work. Interesting conversion anyway |

Over here, we'll convert anything to diesel, even if its already a diesel, we'll try a different engine....   ;D ;D ;D btw will the Manta gearbox bolt straight onto the Izuzu 1.7TD? |
