Omega General Help / Info on the 2.5 TDI wanted
« on: 16 March 2015, 19:54:45 »
Hi guys!
I'm thinking of doing a engine transplant in my Chevy Blazer. I'm keen to replace the very thirsty 4.3 V6 with a diesel for improved economy.
I've found indications that the 2.5 TDI uses the GM 4L30E auto, mine has the stronger 4L60. This should bolt up nice and make things easier, I think...
So then what I need:
What's the weight on the 2.5 TDI?
And does anyone know how long the motor is? I need it measured from gearbox mounting face to fan to see if I'm able to fit it in my engine bay... I'll need to know the width too...
Hope someone can help me with this
Cheers,
Einar
