Sweet, I've read about a few turbo 300-6's
Always wondered what kinda performance you could get out of one...

I like my 80 Bronco, but it has a 460 in it, so bad gas mileage, but a great old truck

And that's why I like my diesel... Going down the freeway I can get over 20mpg, average mpg's with mixed driving usually 16-17

Of course, diesel costs more than gas now, and the maintanence costs are a bit higher for a diesel... so it probably evens out.
I still don't mind having over 300hp and about 700 lb/ft on hand, plus good mileage.
