Ford 2.8L Diesel Ranger
A bit old of a thread, but, yes... Ford manufactures a Ranger diesel. I have one, as I live in Guatemala. They are made in Argentina and sold throughout Latin America.
My particular ranger is a 2006 "full sized" four door diesel 4x4 with a 2.8L powerstroke. It gets around 27MPG, and diesel here is cheaper then gas, unlike the states.
In short, the truck is great. The down side is trying to find information on it, as far as something comparable to a chilton manual.
Nothing like having a turbo-diesel in a small truck.

I'd drive the heck out of a diesel Ranger.
Is it bad if I'm currently doing research into what all it takes to get a 2.8L Powerstroke in the USA?

Oh, yeah. This is making me want to buy an old Danger Ranger and make this thing happen.

But if one somehow happened to fall into the body of a US truck, there are some states that don't require emissions testing for diesels. Granted you might have to drop it into something that came with a diesel to begin with.

I can buy the block for it, and If I can get a rebuild kit for it, it would make a great engine for a small truck like a ranger.
I'm pretty sure German "EPA" standards are higher than ours. For instance you had an emissions sticker in your window, like ours. However, your vehicle got an emissions rating, green, yellow or red sticker, red being the worst emissions. Certain areas and roads in Europe you can't drive on if you don't have a green sticker! Areas with a yellow sticker, you had to have a minimum of a yellow sticker to drive there. You don't see very many red stickers driving around!
I'm sure with a good set of diesel cats, exhaust cleaner, the low sulfur fuel in the US, and a properly tuned engine, you could probably exceed US emissions test. Or just live in a state like KS where you don't have emissions testing.

Ah yes, the 1.8 Escort. I've seen a few of them float around CL. I used to own a 98 ZX2 escort. I'd take the engine out and maybe make a dune buggy with it. IIRC the 1.8 only produced some 90 or so HP.

The Escort diesel only made 52hp, and was a 2.0l Mazda built unit. I've tried to find one so I can throw a turbo on it, they don't exist anymore.
Diesel conversions are great, if done right, and depending on what it is. Legally, you have to use an engine of the same year or newer and it had to be available in that vehicle to clear the EPA. That said, the EPA doesn't really do random checks to make sure that the engine is right. Most states that have emissions or safety inspections may reject the swap, though.
I am working on stuffing a Mercedes OM617 five cylinder into my Courier, it's only been a work in progress for a few years now, but will be worth it. If the 2.8 PSD were an option, I would have used it. More power, lighter weight, and more compact.
If i can get some cash together I wouldn't mind getting a few of those, as long as they were complete with transmission, harness and computer.
