PS is a european unit for measuring horsepower. If I remember correctly 1ps= about 1.2hp.

Doesn't Ford own Cummings?

LOL

The Nissan engines listed above are correct. I just happen to recall these as I was a Scout fan back then and had an old Nissan Patrol myself. (Not to be confused with Datsun)

IIRC, the turbo version came out in '80 and a 4wd magazine test drive of it said the only thing this (diesel powered Scout) was good for was pulling bulldozers out of bogs.
