This is very interesting. Never have seen a 56 with a Diesel in it. Quite a concept. What is the final weight of the engine & trans? I understand the 2 stroke engines are high rev. Will it be good for long distance running?
Glad I won't be behind it when its running, can't stand the smell of Diesel.
Can't wait to see final pictures of how it turns out.

I am definately watching the aerostar conversion. It looks like a great idea. Are there any pics of the diesel actually sitting in it? I can't wait to see the pics when this is up and street legal.
