Farm Tracktor engine in truck gets 45mpg...
Well at least according to this guy. He also says the mustang gets 50mpg, seems the car would get quite a bit better compared to the truck, something just don't add up right in my mind..

load of crap, rainbow colored variety.

Ive actually seen a forum were a good amount of people have done this. They put tractor diesels into there truck fabricate an adapter to hook them up to a normal automotive transmission and claim above 35 mpg highway. They are all about torque which is why they would be good for a conversion. I wouldn't doubt its possible

You know Henry used a basic tractor motor in his first cars and trucks. The average back then was 35mpg. :turtle:
|
pretty sure they couldn't hope to achieve 50MPH back then though.
|
well a smaller displacement diesel would help keep the vehicle in ideal BSFC driving normally. So the truck doing better than the mustang would be explained that way by engine load.
|
Would be simpler and get better results with a TDI conversion, abnd the 50 MPH limit would be gone.

It's not so hard to reach low 20s (city) to 30MPG (highway) in a regular-cab F250 with a Cummins 4BT.
