I feel like I'm being ignored
No I just need to find out how much the mounts cost to produce.

You know I'm messing with you.No I just need to find out how much the mounts cost to produce.
I am curious about overall cost for conversion from the 300Tdi, and I'm curious about some real world MPG. This is my daily driver that I rely on, so MPG is a thing.
Can't use your engine as a benchmark unfortunately. If you can't break 20mpg and you have e no power something is wrong

Complete block & heads, valve cover, timing cover, intake and exhaust manifolds. 5 year unlimited mileage warranty. $960 and free shipping to a business location.
Those sound like some good numbers.
20 mpg is really surprising out of an engine architecture this old and this large displacement.
I guess the EfI probably helps
I can believe 20 mpg. I got 18 mpg out of my 109 after the EFI conversion. Sitting at 60-65 mph on the interstate. RPMs were at around 2800-3000. I suspect if I wasn't driving through the mountains, had road tires instead of mud tires, and didn't have 4.7 diffs, I could've gotten better MPG.
What RPMs is the engine cranking out at cruise? Lets round to say, 65-70 mph.
Yes please provide a report from MAR. In all honesty, if this would fit in my 109, I'd be tempted.
As I said before, it also feels odd to put an engine in it that is likely twice as old as the vehicle itself.
That's why I say I have to wait till mine breaks to make the decision to do a conversion back to gas. I'm curious about some real world MPG. This is my daily driver that I rely on, so MPG is a thing.
