The d24 appealed to me as its just such a brute of a old skool engine.
Well yes it is an old skool engine but in a different vein than the old stump pullers. Not much power or torque down low like the common stereotypical old skool diesel industrial engines; these like to rev more, smoother, quieter and less smoky.

You may want to study what the VW 4-cyl diesel gearhead crowd has done with their (similar bones) versions of these engines (the early pre-TDI versions). Much larger population; they have experimented more with VNT, porting, IP, manifold and exhaust mods., etc.
