  Was the BMC diesel a 3 or 4 cylinder? (vehicle reg was not MHU XXX was it by any chance, with a home made truck cab??)

Interesting. I had a brief flirtation with a 1949 basket case that had a BMC diesel in it. the conversion looked very professional. Never got it running or even tried for that matter but i'll bet it was painfully slow.

  Hi
I have a mid 49 80 inch, which is a basket case. It had a perkins P3 diesel fitted, with a steel conversion plate to match the original gearbox. It fitted onto the standard chassis engine mounts. I still have the engine, and gearbox(ring pull) but they have not run for many years. The perkins P3 is a 3 cylinder diesel, (not the fastest of vehicles, but interesting). It all fitted very neatly into the 80, with only a small modification to the bell housing for the starter motor.

   about diesel 80s. Considering converting an 80 to diesel. Who has a 
  
   diesel in their 80 and what are they using?

   HI Mick,
  
   It does in an 88". Used the 2.0 diesel brackets to the chassis. I used 
  
   the 2.0 diesel exhaust manifold. If petrol coming out, you do have to 
  
   re-invent the throttle linkage, small problem, easily solved.
