Snip> at 75 MPH. I covered 435 miles in 6 hours and 10 min. including over the Tejon Pass and through L.A. and got 17 MPG. I am happy with it so far and this weekend I am towing my boat to Baja with it.

17 MPG? Mark, I hope you will step up to the plate and accept the responsibility of being the first list-er to report on the conversion (esp. in a syncro westy!). Could you please do this? A detailed discussion of the conversion fit and finish, power characteristics, MPG, running noise, vibrations, etc. etc.! Were you really lead footing it when you got 17mpg? Thanks in advance for any details you might have! Nat
