    dayum, you've got me believing anything is possible. Why do you want to convert to diesel?

    Many people have done it. @anothernord did a Toyota Turbodiesel 1KZ-TE swap, and @madmax700r is doing a Cummins 4BT swap.

    The 4BT requires a body lift since it sits so high.

    Sorry to dig up an older thread but I’ve been out for awhile.

    A 4bt swap did not require a body lift in my application but that being said. I put a 1 inch body lift on mine to suck the engine farther back then I really needed to.
    But if you have the factory ifs in place I’m not sure a 4bt swap is very practical at all or even achievable.

    :rofl: $400 shipping from Bulgaria?! Also says it “will be” removed from a Helux, not salvaged or removed. Wonder if the owner of the Helux knows?

    There was a guy posting pictures of retro trailer parts on eBay, and a friend of ours saw some of her things still on her trailer posted there too. The guy was taking pictures of the interiors and posting them on eBay then breaking back into the trailers to sell the parts he had sold. She did a citizen’s arrest on him and the sheriff took him away.
