Book Review: Engine Swapping Tips and Techniques , R.M. Clarke
 

An Old Book In New Cover

This is a barely updated book published as a Peterson's title in the
late 70s, and while the basics (as applied to RWD cars with front
engines) haven't changed, the laws have and so have the reasons for
swapping in most cases. The most popular subjects for engine swaps
today are four wheel drive vehicles, particularly outside the USA
where no off-road vehicle is taken seriously without a diesel engine.

A new edition of this book could be very good, especially if written
with non-US readers as well as Americans in mind.

And where is this place where they use diesel engines in off-road
vehicles? What off-road events have they won? I bet according to you
their airplanes use diesel, too.
