Diesel for a 88 Bronco II ?

yes, your right, there was an escort made with a diesel engine, good luck finding one of the 2.0s in diesel, they only put them in like 84-87 escorts. Dont know your reasoning for putting on of those in a Bronco II but I think it would be more work than it would be benificial. you would have to change, computers, re-run new fuel lines, change wiring harness, good luck....plus no 4x4

Good luck

I had an 85 Tempo with a diesel. I liked it but it was too "quirky" for most folks. That motor would be way underpowered for a Bronco II. It would eat itself apart internally. If you are actually serious about this project, I would suggest finding a RWD engine and trans combo. 4x4 will be especially hard to find, if at all. There are no Fords in this configuration except for the large truck motors. I seem to recall a Diesel Chevy S-10, maybe?? Possibly an import PU truck?

How about a whole vehicle? A quick Google search found this:

Good Luck
