If I was going to do a diesel swap into a 80 Series I'd put in the Fuso 4D34.

Mercedes probably made some engine and transmission improvements since your 78 or maybe the euros are slightly lighter?

Euros are lighter and the 80s non turbo are a little different too plus the euros have the type m pump that gives a little extra horse power...

I took a little trip yesterday and got gas before I headed back....my od said the trip was 153miles which would give me a hair under 26mpg...

Don't you know, you have to use the fine tooth comb to get rid of the bugs.....then you can use the tools to squish them
