Feelings were kinda WTF when I saw that Volkswagen truck assembled from a Brazilian CKD kit. I already knew that model, but seeing one running on a 4BC2 is not something I was waiting for. It had originally that MWM engine and a Clark/Eaton gearbox.

Only in South Africa we can see an Isuzu TF bakkie with a Ford 302W V8 operated as a tow-truck. Anywhere else in the world it would probably have been converted to LPG. Actually a 4JB1 would be still the best answer to the job...

Another time, a petrol engine is gonna be the job. Old-school 5-cylinder Audi engine used in the Southern African versions of the iconic Volkswagen Bus van, rebored at least twice, now it's time to get the block resleeved. The owner of the van told me that he once considered to replace the entire engine using an old Isuzu 4LE2 out of a Thermo King semi-trailer refrigerator as the replacement, but this plan got on hold for awhile, not discarded at all...
