Has any body any experience with the GM 6.2 V8 diesel conversion in a 90
a friend has seen one for sale?.I said I would ask on here if any one knows if it,s a worth while conversion you folks would.

only driven an f350 when working abroad 100mph 1/4 throttle lovley dont think it would be so good in a 90 tho

poor drive train

think you will need a selection of halfshafts and gearbox's at the ready

They are very heavy engines. Friend had one in a 110. Would tow anything, oddles of torque, but he eventually replaced it with a 200Tdi.

Would think that it would make a 90 very nose heavy.

I can't imagine the fuel economy being upto too much either.

WOW, that sounds great, I'd love to make a 110 into a mid engined car with one of them

; )

I don't mean to sound funny or anything but 30 mpg on a 6.2 V8 is seriously taking the **** is it not?

The standard 2.5 TDI does not more than 30 mpg AFAIK.

Ah the ones I drove were twin turbo versions bloody quick for their weight. Jai
