With gas being $2+ per gallon, we could combine a deal with the guy in Sherman Texas that rebuilds 70's Cadilacs for people who want BIG cars. This diesel would make one of them get 40 MPG if it wasn't too hard for an old lady to drive.

it would have to be a fleetwood or deville for the rear drive. the front wheelers would be really hard to do.BTW, what does he do with all the 500's? i like parts. and i love the 500 caddy...

and its hard to mate a tranny to a 188 case diesel just a plate on the bellhousing with a hole in the middle and bolt holes

It would be unlocked to start and for passing but locked up for cruise.

i understand ur perspective now....PSD, have u ever seen a combine? driven one maybe? how 'bout a johndeere lawnmower? any commercial lawn mower? they are all "hydrostatic". it is just a hydralic variable output pump that is coupled w/ lines to a hydralic motor. the more output on the pump, the faster the motor spins. motor is splined to axles and pump is splined to engine.
