Bjo:rn (sorry, I dunno how to make an umlaut on this machine!) --

Thanks for the motor-list pointer and the translation!.  I'd been to
Martin's pages before, but my German is rudimentary and I never found
the egine list.

Now to look into turbo diesel availability in the US.  At least
I know what I'm looking for now!

Bitte, waB bedeutet 'Umbau'?  Transmission?  Project?  The context
is "diese Motoren kommen fu:r den Umbau in Frage", the use of kommen
here I'm not so sure of but I'm guessing "these motors (come? are
available?) for the (project? transmission?) in question".
