drop it in 1st and let it bang off the rev limiter!!!!!! my first car was a pick-up truck '85 3/4ton with a 6.2, underpowered, but man I loved that truck.
that sounds sweet. i love the crackle of the glass packs. my dad has 2001 chevy with the 6.0 liter gaser in it with glass packs and it sounds good. i have a 1985 GMC 1 ton with the 6.2 diesel with dual exhaust. right now it is really quite and im think about putting glass packs on it
That sounds a bit much; a friend of mine has a 6.2 in a land rover which weighs less and he gets around 20mpg, adverts for the conversion say around 30, as the engine isn't working as hard when its a big un, but most people say less! who knows? not me!!
Gearing and engine RPM have alot to do with it. I have a 85 with a 6.2 if I do 55 i will get almost 25 MPG with no overdrive. If i drive 65-70 I get around 17-19. Stil not bad at all for a full size 3/4 ton 4wd truck.
I know a guy who claims to get about 28mpg with a 4x4 6.2L with a 5 speed. I think he has pretty high differential gears. That could make a huge difference too...don't the rovers have really low gears 4:56 or 5: something?
sounds good man sounds kinda like mine but mine is a litter deeper i got 3 inch staight pipes

Lovely noise.
I'm so fukin jealous!
I live in UK- petrol cost =to $9 a gallon, all the cars have 4 cylinder engines.
I drive a shite 1.8 turbo diesel 88bhp standard-120bhp now, still shite. Top speed 115mph bah! it will do 40mpg though! and more.

the 2wd 6.2 diesel was rated at 31 highway/29 city when it came out,not bad for a fullsize truck

the rover was probably considerably heavier and lower geared
osp80 4 years ago
Yes maybe, and 4 X 4.
weight about 2 tonnes.
The fullsize truck u mention will be heavier I would guess, but tall geared as u say.
This engine would be good in a car like a mercury monarch/ ford granada kind of size, I could live with 30mpg for that noise, enspecially on veg oil.

Is that american or english gallons?
isf american then thats nearly 27mpg maybe?
Better than 2.5 diesel my friend has!
A big under stressed engine is always better, lasts longer aswell, which means less polution.

@Catalina65389 mines an 82, but exactly the same otherwise, do you have electric front locks or manual?
