You would be correct. Super-Turbo direct injection. I build my engines this way to ensure that the engine always has a minimum of 35 lb of boost, even at very low rpms. I also use the pneumatic system as a boost charger if gets below min spec.

My 300STDI currently produces 450 up @ 3100 rpm, 990 lbft @ 1250 - 3100 rpm.
I've also gotten 38 mpg in my f150 using this engine.

Wow. those are some impressive numbers! How much would such an engine cost? And would it be compatible with a 91 F150?

As for will it fit, if you can afford one of my custom built engines, you can also afford custom engine mounts if the oem ones don't mach up.

Well that's a given. Wouldn't be the first time I've done that.

I ment to say, "would be cut". Don't you just love it when your smart phone is too stupid to detect context?
MVTPhotography's avatar
Yep. But nope. I don't have a smart phone. I got a "dumb" phone. So I don't have that problem. :D

Right now, about $25,000. If I was to put it in a short run production vehicle (say about 10,000 of these Broncos) that cost wouldn't be cut to about $5500.

Note that a major part of the spectacular mileage is the result of a dpi injection system. Propane acts as a fuel catalyst, enabling the fuel to completely combust. With proper tuning the engine will produce more power, torque, and use less fuel.

Improperly tuned and your engine will explode; rather spectacularly.

Well that's out of my budget. lol. Well I've been thinking of rebuilding the 4.9L in my 91 but have been wondering if there are any options as to increase the mpg and power. Like if I were to put a turbo on it and such, would that actually help.

If its a gasser, I really couldn't help you much. I generally avoid them.
