Diesel in Jeep Cherokee
 

I found the URL to the page with the 5.7 liter GM diesel in a Jeep Cherokee,
if anyone is interested.

http://members.tripod.com/~A350Diesel/jeep.html

The conversion story is interesting, and people keep asking about "What
diesel fits in my Jeep?" Well it looks as if the 5.7 GM "fits," but you
need a pretty big shoehorn.

"So we rigged up a jig that bolted up to the engine mounts (where the
transmission would normally be fastened) and supported a precision X/Y
cutting tool holder from a metal lathe. We then ran the engine on a frame
and used the engine's own power to cut a true-to-center hole and snap ring
groove in the end of the crank shaft for the pilot bearing..."

Hi Earle,
You forgot to mention there's not one 350" GM diesel left on the
road nor in a junk yard where I bet the Cherokee is now.

The kind of nut case who would put a diesel in a Jeep this side of "the
pond" would consider this a minor obstacle only.

Hi Earle,
It was an accomplishment, that year Cherokee has a much smaller
engine compartment being designed for the Chevy 2.6 litre V6, with no
straight six.
