One of the reasons I got the 20ft Argosy is it is the only one fitted with the small block chevy (the rest have big blocks) and that means with modern 'van cams' and fuel injection, I have options for upto 50% more power and whilst getting some efficiency around mpg....I would certainly do that before going diesel. Interesting the same power/torque is now available from a Mitsubishi Fuso power plant that over doubles the mpg and approx halves the capacity, if I did go diesel it would be that route.

Just have to remember these things maybe made of aluminium but the still weight at least 8000lb so they are always going to take some work to get moved.

Caspian Blue '03 BA, Union Jack/Stars and Stripes paint, BUBs, Progressive 812s, and lots of chrome
