First two lines of his first post on this thread :
" Afternoon, as some of you will be aware I have been pondering at length about what to do with the engine situation in my 1988 740 Hearse. Unfortunately, it came with a B200E, which whilst low mileage and runs quite well, is just not up to the job of hauling the extended wheelbase brick around!" While the B200 is fine in something like a 360, it just doesn't have enough grunt to haul round even a basic 744, never mind one that has a tailgate on steroids and a chassis to match! Even the B230E in a 745 felt underpowered at times so the B200 must be positively lethargic in terms of performance and thirsty on fuel because of the gross mismatch between expectation and reality.
