yes it is. it has similar power numbers to he 2f in stock form but gets way better economy. I have a few upgrades coming for it though which I am hoping make it much stronger. the nice things I found about them is the mileage (I easily got 30 mpg in the car which is heavier than the fj40.) yes I know the aerodynamics of the 40 are like driving a sheet of plywood down the road but I'm sure it'll still be better. it also revs more like a gasser but is still diesel and lastly Mercedes has parts available for all their engines so parts won't be an issue down the road (I hope!!). there are some threads on using the om617 engine around. I think it'll be cool plus I already had it to use.
