Hi Jim, I know the guy really well where she came from and he told me it does about 30mpg on a run and about 25 round town.

Ive done about 170 miles now on just over 1/4 of a tank.

It still has its four speed auto which helps.

Very Cool.

Need pictures of the engine bay!

Stupid question, but is this a retrofit or did they actually come stock that way 'cross the pond?

Hi, I'll sort that out over the weekend for ya. I was going to put some pics up of the motor as I would like to try to find out how old it is and which type. Am I right in thinking they did a few diffrent models of the 6.2?

It is a retrofit as thew 5.7DX died at some point and the chap thought it would be better just to fit the 6.2 in.

Here you go as promised






Only the A/C and cruise was lost in the swap. I don't mind about the A/C as it don't get that hot here in the U.K but I do miss the cruise.
