    Diesels were put in a few escorts and rangers in the early-mid 80's. I believe they were made by Perkins. They are rare but if you could find one then this would probably be your easiest swap.

    That's what I'd like to do, too. Ford's Triton could be made to fit. Just so happens I helped design the grinders that machine the cranks and cams for them, so I guess I'm prejudiced.

    Re: V10

    Whatever you did, you did it well. My Superduty V-10 has been my daily driver for 5 years now and it's one of the smoothest and most competent engines I've ever had the pleasure of owning.
