    I'm starting to choose a body and begin to gather parts for a "vacation cruiser" kind of car, maybe a station wagon from the 60s or 70s. With that very V6 engine, Gale was discussing and a hybrid from someone like Rich. Rich has done some incredible things with all-electric, I'm sure he could perfect a hybrid. Now I'm wishing I had to money just to ship them a complete car and turn them both loose and see what comes back.

    For smaller diesel engines you could also consider a Mercedes straight six OM648, or if you want a V8 an OM629. If you want mechanical diesel, OM606 is a great block too. I know they're older engines, but they don't get much love state side and they really are awesome engines.
