Early 80's diesel Rangers, any experts?

[kert0307]

Lately I've been seeing a few early 80's diesel rangers. Does anyone know much about the specs on their engines? I've only seen 2wd's for sale, is there a transfer case that will bolt up to them? Anyone know the hp and torque specs, I can't find much about them.

Edit: it appears there are 2 different diesels


1983-84 : 2.2 L Mazda/Perkins diesel 59 hp
1985 :Mitsubishi-built 2.3 L turbodiesel 86 hp

"The Ranger was introduced in mid-1982 for the 1983 model year. Available engines were the 72 hp (54 kW) 2.0 L and 86 hp (64 kW) 2.3 L OHC four-cylinders, a four-cylinder 59 hp (44 kW) 2.2 L Mazda/Perkins diesel, and a 115 hp (86 kW) 2.8 L Cologne V6. In 1985, a Mitsubishi-built 2.3 L turbodiesel with 86 hp (64 kW) replaced the Mazda diesel engine, and in 1986, the 2.8 L engine was replaced with a 140 hp (104 kW) 2.9 L Cologne "
