If you are in the New England area, you might check with Converse Conversions. They install V-8's into 240s and the suspension of a Diesel is just right for the additional weight of a V-8 over a 4 banger.

As I recall, the Diesel models of 240 had the higher level trim like the GL, maybe other fancies like power windows, sunroof, leather upholstery, etc.

Had a co-worker with a 245 Diessl, early 80's model. Lost the timing belt, broke cam into 5 pieces, no doubt bent all valves, maybe twisted the crank. The compression ratio on a Diesel is around 18:1, far tighter than our 10:1 level. Car was totalled.

But the key is if you have a mechanic for the car.

Regards,

Bob
