here is some pics of a jeep cherokee i modified in sketchup. the software is free, so its not the greatest, but once you get the hang of it you can do some neat stuff.
pictured motor is an OM617

The perception view that you are using is kinda funky.
I use the same original model for all my work but I have imported it into Solidworks.

i have atleast 50 hours into this model. im not all that good at polishing the glitches, but i mostly did this for a organic sketch that i could change and work through my ideas.

it was the most fitting section IMHO since its not real, and its a concept for fabrication.

That's why I like cardboard. Its renewable, lightweight, easy to shape, and each piece instantly becomes a template to transfer onto your material.

Read the stickies at the top of each section. If you're drawings aren't to scale and you design something on it you will have a much harder time trying to make whatever it was.

the OM617 is not a terribly powerful motor, but it was in a 4000 lb car, so putting it in a 4000lb SUV should be fine, as im not trying to get good 1/4 mile times, just a reliable winter/mud DD jeep

Im just saying it wouldnt be my choice i love the motor its reliable but it barly moves my car i couldnt imagine it in a jeep. Yes the 603 has sensors but it is still a mechanical injection pump and thats what you want. And what trans are you thinking of running a bellhousing adaptor for the aw4 or gunna try and mod a 722.3 to work in there ?

im going to use a AX15 manual to get more of that power to the road, and to have more control over the vehicle, as well as no worries of tranmission failure.

How is a 30 year old turbo 5 cyl more simple than a 4.0? I mean, I know those engines will last a life time but so will a 4.0. Plus, a 4.0 is more powerful and more responsive. Is your only motive the want for diesel fuel?
