When I was (more) young and foolish, I rebuilt the turbodiesel engine in a 1983 Mercedes 300SD. The day after we got it all back together two friends and I drove it over a thousand miles to a wedding in Philadelphia. In hindsight, this was really stupid. It turned out fine, though.

I stuck the engine from a 300SD into my 67 chevy pickup.

My next trick will be to transplant a modern variable vane turbocharger onto it and develop a fly by wire throttle and vane control system.
