So, why did you decide on the TD5? I was thinking about putting one in my D2, seems it would be the simplest swap since factory parts should be available.
But most people suggest the simpler TD200/300's would be better, even for my D2?
Care to go into details on the process? Where'd you get the engine, what did you do with mechanicals and electricals?
Send me some images, Keith. I'll host 'em for you.Originally Posted by revor

Wishful thinking and just plain ignorance
Forget sending images, send me the D1 with the TD5 and I'll take photos for you! (and I'll take it for a test drive too to get some action shots)![]()

I'm sorry I doubted you when you said you'd have it done before the Moab Rally. You just didn't clarify which one.
Seriously though, congrats on finishing it up. That's going to be a SWEET rig.
