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

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.
