good points! i was communicating with rick on another forum and was suggesting other motors but only to help. sorry rick if it came across as negative!
sounds like you know what you're doing and hopefully you can keep us in the loop as it gets going!

290GD 602 Turbo 118hp
UNIMOG 602 Turbo 127hp
Granted the .962 is a slightly different engine but in line at 123hp with the other offerings, and my understanding is this is not being built as a hardcore trail rig. It may be worth confirming the bottom ends of the .938, .939, .981, .982 and .983 to ensure the .962 is stout enough.
If there were no pioneers, we'd all still be living on a flat world. To each their own.
