That is about it. The 1.7 is made by Isuzu is all allumiumn. I don't
have any weights. Perhaps somebody in the UK or Europe could give us
some more information on lightwieght automotive diesel?


To day, you can't expect less than 110 kg for a running 100Hp diesel
engine conversion (Toyota or PSA bloc)
The Isuzu engine is heavier.
You may find this engine in Opel/Vauxall cars too.
