IMHO, an engine in the bay is worth two in the crate. :-)
Especially after all the work you've already put into it. Also, I don't
have the numbers in front of me here, but I suspect you would be
dissapointed with the performance of the Liberty diesel in a Dak,
especially after it is loaded down with the winch, camper shell, extra
fuel (and I assume water) tanks, etc. If you wanted to go diesel, the
4BT would probably be the way to go in a Dak.
