84 mercury lynx Diesel

[mp_cude]

I came across an 84 lynx diesel 5spd I want to buy. Has 46k miles, and looks as though it has been parked under a tree for 25 years. Moss coverd, and moldy inside. I'll just gut the interior and radicate the mold, tint the windows. Should make a good commuter. I can't seem to find much info about this car; ie where is the engine sourced, production numbers etc. If anyone has info please share, thank you.

From a quick search of the interwebs...I found that it should be a Mazda diesel motor. They also put them in the B2200 pickups. Mileage should be around 35 city and 47-50 hwy. Pretty darn good.

The R engine has virtually the same block as the Mazda petrol FE engine with identical bell housing pattern and block dimensions.
