Oct 26, 2010 · As a Brit now living in the USA I was perplexed that I wasn't able to buy a small commercial vehicle with a 2-2.5 liter Diesel engine which will deliver 45-50 MPG for light duty. My previous vehicle was a Ford Escort (Car derived van) with a 1.8 Liter IDI that gave me 44 MPG.

I used a 1000 pound rated Harbor Freight engine stand to rebuild mine, it was a little shakey but held no problem, I did have to elongate the slots in the plate to get it to spread out enough to match the 7.3 bolt pattern.

Dec 9, 2007 · Hey, guys: I have two 2,000 lb. engine stands that i got from Jeg's a few years ago. The first one I bought was pretty good for "Chinese junk", it held my 460 just fine - so I bought a second (identical) one.
