Happy Thanksgiving to you also!

I have an 88 765 that I removed the turbo from and drove it for over a year as my daily driver at 100 miles per day. The only problems with the lower compression motor was an occassional fouling of the plugs on a cold start otherwise the < 2% difference in horsepower over an N/A motor was not noticable. The gas mileage did improve over running the turbo. I later pulled this very noisey motor and replaced it with a B230F from an 86 244 leaving all of the electronics and fuel system alone. So far it has logged over 15,000 miles with no problems.

Regards,
