      Oo, Kia J2 ay mabuting makina para sa Ford Escape.Makatwirang lakas-upang-bigat ratio, busiksik sukat ginagawang madali upang umangkop.Gusto ko ang panatilihin ng awtomatikong gearbox para kaginhawahan, pero ito hinihingi ng isang naiibang tune para torque converter at adapters sa sensors input ng elektronikong kontrol.

      Kia J2 is a good engine for a Ford Escape. Reasonable power-to-weight ratio, compact size makes it easy to fit. I would prefer to retain the automatic gearbox for comfort, but it would demand a different tuning for the torque converter and adaptors to the input sensors of the electronic controls.

      Once a guy who I used to consider a good friend adviced me to buy a surplus European Ford Courier (99 model-year), that I didn't buy because it had some head gasket failures and was gasoline-powered - if I would buy a piece of junk like that it would at least be an oil burner.After my refuse to buy that, his lolo did it. It later had some major failures and then turned into the most expensive hennery I've seen.

      Ang SM465 maaaring magbili, pero hindi mo magkakaroon sobrang pagkuha sa hila kakayahang na may TD27 sa loob Tahoe. Pero isang overdrive ng magiging gustong.

      The SM465 can deal, but you won't have too much towing ability with the TD27 inside the Tahoe. But an overdrive would be desirable.

      Nissan TD27 ay magandang pagpipilian upang kumasya sa Chevy Lumina, pero hindi mo dapat umasa ito maging speed demonyo.

      Nissan TD27 is a good option to fit into a Chevy Lumina, but you shouldn't expect it to become a speed devil.

      With a biodiesel repowering there are many parts and industrial processes not required, and a vehicle that maybe could be considered a "residue" would actually be "recycled". There are also some weight-savings due to the absence of a large and heavy battery pack that ends up being just a dead weight on road. Even considering the less-elaborated aerodynamics in some older vehicles they can get some nice fuel-efficiency numbers with their no-frills old bodies powered by a diesel, such as the early Isuzu Gemini.

      Power and ratio wouldn't be the highest ones, except if you do some tuning in the 4D56 engine. It can be perceived as underpowered, but the fuel savings would worth. I'm just not sure if the rear axle would fit, because the Crown Victoria is wider, but its Ford 9-inch axle has a wide range of gear ratios available, and a lower one would be desirable to make it feel less underpowered - with a lower gear ratio it will have a lower top speed, but quicker throttle response and better performance on hilly terrain.

      I heard about biodiesel for the first time when I was still 14, back in 98. Have already seen some diesels running on palm oil before, mainly used to move gensets and kuliglig tractors. I used to think bad things about diesel engines before that, because of their noise and lack of engine-brake power like a regular gasser (nothing than an exhaust brake couldn't solve), but already had a deep respect for their heavy-duty unbeatable reliability. My nose is deformed because of a jeepney crash when I was just 12, the main brake failed and even using the e-brake it wasn't so effective as would be if paired with an exhaust-brake.

      Nothing against the Kubota V2203-T, but you must not expect the Blazer to become a power beast with it. I know the Quad-4 is a little beast and its resemblance to an Offie is turning it into a wish for some hot-rodders, but if your intentions are to get a die-hard and fuel-saver vehicle the Kubota is a reasonable choice.

      Ang orihinal na SM465 ay sapat na malakas na humawak ng metalikang kuwintas ng isang diesel engine pero may isang mas moderno overdrive 5-speed transmisyon gusto iyo kumuha ng kahit malaking pagbuti sa panggatong husay. Isang malawak na saklaw ng engine maaaring angkop sa trak. Tungkol sa 1-litro sa 1.2-litro bawat silindro ay maayo parameter upang makatulong iyo pumili mga karamihan na mga pagpipilian. Isang surplus Isuzu 4BD1T maaring mahusay tumugma sa SM465, dahil ang mga sukat at gahom panumbasan ay malapit sa mga 4BT Cummins tinatanggap ginamit para sa repowering sa trak tulad inyo sa ibang bansa, o ng di-turbocharged 4HF1/4HFG1 na may ring makatwirang. Iba pang pagpipiliang maaaring ang Toyota 14B gamitin sa Toyota Dyna.

      ____________________________________________________________

      The original SM465 is enough strong to hold the torque of a diesel engine but with a more modern overdrive 5-speed transmission you would get an even bigger improvement on fuel efficiency. A wide range of engines can fit into the truck. About 1-litre to 1.2-litre per cylinder is a good parameter to help you to choose the most suitable options. A surplus Isuzu 4BD1T can be a good match to the SM465, as its size and power ratio is close to the Cummins 4BT widely used for repowering in trucks like yours in other countries, or the non-turbocharged 4HF1/4HFG1 that are also reasonable. Other option could be the Toyota 14B used in the Toyota Dyna.
