diesel swap
I was wondering if anyone had thought of dropping a diesel engine in your H3. Is there one small enough out there? Let me know if you know of one.

Re: diesel swap
Haven't heard of anyone doing it but also wouldn't expect to see it happen before they start getting beyond the warranty period.

Re: diesel swap
Theres rumor of an H3 Alpha in 2008...some say they add a turbo to the I-5, some say a diesel, others a v8 or v6. As of now its unclear, but they definately are looking for more power.

You'd need a whole new drivetrain, a new front end, different steering, all new electronics, and not to mention, a bottomless wallet.
I would think the chances on getting a duramax are as good as Santa bringing me a 28yr old centerfold nympho for Christmas!

I didn't say Duramax 6600, I simply said Duramax. Isuzu has a small, efficient, already-approved diesel that could easily become a smaller Duramax for the H3.

How about a 5-cylinder Duramax, inline? Remember, the European market will get a diesel.
The Alpha will not have a turbo or a diesel.

How similar would it be for a US made? I heard they euro version wouldn't meet US standards and couldn't be sold here...
