I have found a Diesel Cherokee very very cheap....

I was thinking of grabing it up for the motor...to put in my CJ...

I found out that it could be one of two, does anyone have any info or advice on either of these? easy or hard to find parts for? etc...anything you may know about these two...

Renault 2.1L 4cyl. Turbo Diesel
or the
Italian VM 2.5L Turbo Diesel

thanks in advance...

 

Parts will be very difficult to find (?) These are from Mexico or Brazil or something. Never sold in the USA.

 

or you could wait until Jeep releases their diesel concept vehicle, the gladiator ...

the Renault motor was sold as a US option used in 85-87....

I'm finding that parts are still hard to come by no matter witch one it is....I haven't looked at it yet to see if I can ID witch motor it is...but I think I may pass on it just because of the parts issue...
