You are an expert in my eyes, and I have had minimal experience with
the diesel. I am not sure the car in question has seen the road in
ages and may not have been cared for in those years to keep it going.

At 67 HP each, you'd need 6 -- how about a linear arraingment? An
in-line 24 cyl. engine! Talk about a long hood! Might hurt the turning

Off the top of my head it seems like if you increase bore a bit but
keep the same stroke you ought to get a greater increase in torque
than in power, so that makes sense. But I'm no mechanical engineer.

> Isn't the torque rating for the OM603.97 e
The OM603.97 engine develops about 10% more torque than the OM603.96
engne did. The reason the '90-'91 603.97 engines had lower power was
because they were rev limited to about 4200rpm (max hp is at 4400-4600
rpm). After the rev limit wa removed (alowed to go to 5100) ower came
right up to 148 hp.
There used to be companies who advertised they would get a valid title in
Alabama - at that time, Ala didn;t require a title - a bill of sale would
satisfy the state department of transportation.
I'm pretty sure they no longer allow that kind of registration - at least
not as easy as it used t
