Looking at an olds station wagon for her wifeyness. She loves it, but I haven't gotten it running yet. (Been sitting for a few years) I would really love to have a diesel with an overdrive in it. I know that they came with the optional 5.7 converted gasser diesel, but I've never heard a good report on them.
I've swapped 6.2's into pickups before, with no trouble, but I'm wondering about the reduced under hood area on the olds.
Will I have room for a 6.2 or 6.5 with a turbo? Also, I don't want any computerized junk in the way, so What year donor truck should I be hunting for to get a 6.5 turbo engine and a 700R4?
Is the 700R4 diesel tranny a lock up model?
Thanks in advance.
