I have a DJ engine in my newer '87 Wolfy but it's sick (leaking head and low oil pressure when warm). It's not original engine that came with the van but I don't know where it originated from. I don't believe these engines were supplied in the vans brought into the US market. The van has the Digifant FI but the engine doesn't have the provision for the high pressure oil switch it should have to work with this FI. The PO shorted the HP oil line to ground to keep the oil warning from going off above 2000 rpm.

What's different about the DJ engine from the MV? Is it just pistons and longer connecting rods or are there other differences as well that account for the greater HP?

Oh yes, I hear it every time I start my Syncro! See my web site for specs!

Oh, and I'm not the only one around here with this engine.
