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

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