O.K.   I've read a number of people going on about
various conversions.  I'm curious about the
performance, mileage etc. of the various conversions,
please include what type/year of tranny you're using,
and any difficulities that you've experienced as a
result of your conversion.  I'm especially interested
in the diesel conversion stuff, and am curious where
on this continent I can get ahold of a 5 cyl diesel.
I live in the western U.S.  some folks say canada, but
I seem to get stonewalled whenever I inquire by phone.
 Is it illegal or something????  incidentally I ran
into a fellow who claimed to import odd, albiet, older
(15 yrs +) vehicles from Brazil by tossing the engine
in the back, and declaring them salvage.  He gets the
vehicle up to his shop, and puts it back together,
takes it to the state patrol, sweats through
emmissions, and drives them away.  I have seen him
with a "Puma" on a couple of occassions, so there may
be some truth to it.  On the other hand he may be full
of excrement too.  The only warning he gave was to
make sure you had a title of some sort when you go to
the state patrol.

Also this service may be of some interest on the
topic....
