Dahn,
I'm running a GoWesty 2.3. I'm pretty happy with it.
Very good power and reasonable MPG.
Downside: It developed a leak at the oil-pump cover
after only a couple thousand miles and the engine is
not very smooth at idle, probably pretty typical for a
"hot" engine.
Speaking of hot, stepping on it will heat up my engine
quite a bit. I went up a couple of steep dirt roads
that stressed the cooling system to the limit. I
wonder what the experience with other conversions in
combination with the stock cooling system is? Anyway,
I have driven it hard on the highway and also offroad
and so far it holds up very well. Time will tell, I
guess
