possible if it from the '83-94 model year IF they used the same trans. the bolt pattern on the back of the block is the critical element, I would guess these have a different trans than the gasoline model. Does any one know for sure?

board member cathoderaytube is in the middle of doing a diesel swap. he was going to use a 2C-T but it didn't the tranny so he's now got a 1N-T which he's confident will fit. not sure if the 1C is similar to the 2C, you'll have to really dig for that. check out this thread though.
