yeah, i meant on the engine.

if you can get plug and play engine management, the fab wirk is easy.

the engine management side of things can get complex and expensive quick.



also, make sure that youre not putting a lot of nose weight on. from what i know, diesels can be really heavy. youre already fighting the weight distribution of a truck, so why make it worse?

Yea, I am trying to be mindful of the nose weight. I plan to set the engine back and down as far as possible. I figure since I'm doing custom mounting anyway why not try to maximize the setup. The two engines I'm considering are relatively small and both have aluminum heads. I'm trying to find some weights now, but I am relatively certain they are equal to or less than the v6's in these trucks stock and definitely less than a small block swap.

Weight of VW tdi 1.9l is around 450lbs
