I was thinking of doing a diesel bronco project but can't decide on an engine
I want to keep it ford so i was looking a powerstroke they make good power and the new ones are very appealing but i think its to big.I was looking at a cummins but the 5.9 is to long (it does fit in a scout) and is really heavy.the 4bt is heavy for a 4cyl and doesn't have great horse power or torque.I came across some 4cly power strokes that landrover guys use and their light and powerful.I also got the crazy idea of a volvo lesure boat engine their are two very good engines the d3-190 which is a light weight and powerful I-5 and the d6-435 smaller than the cummins 5.9 lighter and more powerful.volvo is also owned by ford.hmmmm which one?
2.8 powerstroke 128-hp 250-lbft
d3-190 190-hp 380-lbft
d6-435 435-hp 800-lbft
6.4 powerstroke 350-hp 650-lbft
5.9 cummins 325-hp 610-lbft
