Join us as we discuss last minute Christmas Gifts. Bring your ideas and suggestions. Any thing related to outdoor or ham radio use is with in our purview!

We had lots of suggestions. We cut the net off at two hours. It could have gone on for quite a while longer. There were 27 check ins.

I want a diesel motor for the H2.

Dave,

Here's your diesel engine for the H2 -



https://www.surpluscenter.com/item.asp? ... me=engines

* Model V2003-T-EU4B
* Engine family XKBXL02.0FAD
* Bore/stroke 3.43"/3.64"
* Disp. 2 Litre (122 cu.in.)
* Compression ratio 23:1
* Horsepower Ratings @ 2,800 RPM
60.6 HP (gross)
56.8 HP (net intermittent)
49.3 HP (net continuous)
* Speed 2,800 RPM max (unloaded)

I'm sure any Cuban mechanic could make it work.

If you install one of those in the H2 then there will be something else I can pass on the freeway other than Unimogs

Bruce:


I am doubtful that 60 hp will make the cut for a 6800lb vehicle. I think that my on board air compressor has almost that much power. But thanks!
