Matt,

There's a kid that work as a BMW wrench that lives near me somewhere that has a 60 series. I talk with him at our local gas station down the hill at times. He stuffed a surplus diesel v8 off some military vehicle in there. He claims more power is day an night and the fuel milage is in the 20-25 range. I wanted him to do the same thing to my 80, when the motor goes. Actually, I would like a Cummins in there.

BTW, I got the 4runner limited over the weekend. Man, that thing is nice.

Jeff
