Congrats Danny C.!!!!!

I had a similar sensation when I put my 2.1L (stock, Syncro motor) into my
84 Westy!  I can actually make it up hills without decelerating now
(barely)! 

I can only imagine the 2.4L power!!!  

My MPG actually increased as well, but at "High Speed" over 75 MPH, it drops
to 17mpg.  If I cruise at 65 MPH, I'm at 20MPG.  

You will be tempted to go the customary 10 over the limit, but retrain if
you want better mpg, as the lack of any aero dynamics results in a drastic
reduction in fuel economy at these break-neck speeds.

Enjoy your "new" ride, and remember "Speed Kills" your mpg!

Nice to have the power when you need it eh!

So I got my 2.4L GoWesty engine installed and running today. WOW!!!!! It
only has 34 miles on it and boy is there a big difference in power compared
to my 1.9L. I can actually accelerate on the freeway going 65 mph to 85 mph.
And hills WOW!!!! I can also accelerate going up hill now and the engine is
not even broke in yet. Im very happy with it. I id not want a race car I
only wanted to be able to drive like a normal car.
