have found a volvo inline 6 cyl diesel around 1980 year model with a 4 speed manual, found out it was made by VW, to be put in light carrier box trucks, volvo bought some taged them as their motors and stuffed them in volvo cars, if i buy this car i would like to install motor and trans in my 1998 isuzu rodeo to get some grate fuel economy, my question is are these good diesel motors anyone know about if they always have trouble or not? parts easy to get or not? or should i look for an old merc benz in line 6 are they a better motor,i drive to mexico city 2 times a year and need to build a machine that will last the trip and get good fuel economy too, thanks for any adv on this.

as you know , diesel motors rather than other types are economical , but you need to have a 4 cyl diesel motor and its obvious that Mercedes Benz diesel motors are the best in economy , speed , power , durability and stability . but if you only think about economy lets take a look at Volex Wagon diesel motors . finally I recommend Mercedes Benz .

Just trade your truck in on a used Dodge Ram with a Cummins diesel already in it. It will probably be cheaper than what your trying to do.

vw makes good diesels. as long as it doesn't have too many miles on it you should be good (that's common sense though).
